I've served webm videos to firefox 4 beta and opera browsers and the
video will play fine on them. But I just get a blank video with the
video control on chrome. I checked that the iis 7 is serving the right
mime type for webm (.webm - video/webm) from the response header. The
video works when I played the video directly through c:\ which means
chrome can play a webm file. I checked the response header and it
looks like it only loaded partially because the .webm file on the
server is about 2MB, but the header showed that only 700k was
received. Can anyone help me? This is a sample link to the video from
http://www.w3schools.com/html5/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_video. This
worked on opera and firefox 4. The video does not show up with chrome
dev 7.0.544

I have this on a page where I need 12 vids to play. Chrome will only play the first 6 in the list! It must be something to do with the way Chrome parses the code because if I shift the order round they all play and if I use the player to open the blank videos i.e. >6 in the list in a new tab, they all play. I find this most bizarre and frustrating.
