Why is Safari 5.1.7 for Windows the only browser that displays video with gray background, when it's white in four other browsers?

Hello all,
Here's my coding obstacle to overcome with Safari in my local dev environment using Windows 7 32-bit and wamp server. I created a pretty straightforward one and a half minute animation in Flash with a white background. Then I exported it as both an swf and avi video, then I encoded to several different file formats - ogg, mp4, and webm. Firefox 19, Chrome 24, and Opera 12 all play the webm file correctly showing the video's white background as expected, and IE 10 plays the mp4 correctly.
However, when Safari 5.1.7 plays one of these files that I can't distinguish (because right click functionality displays nothing), the video's background property is changed to (gray) throughout the video instead of white. What the?
Can someone please provide a workaround?

Yes, I am still having the automatic tab reloading and I am ******* sick of it.
I have lost count of how much work I have lost because of it.
I have 8 GB of perfect new RAM and tonnes of SSD HD space, I have tried reinstalling the OS etc and every fix on the internet (no (SP) mode does not work, nor does switching Java off etc, it's not an extension nor corrupted anything ... it's an uncontrollable fault with Safari).
Why does it keep happening !?!
And I am so sick of Apple not acknowledging this and responding to it.
What triggers it ... it is a built memory or cache limitation? It is a plain and simple crash?
How do I debug it to find out?
It strikes me that 20 years after the internet went public Apple ... despite all their billions and open source developers working for free ... still cannot make a browser that does not crash and so they decided to make a browser that *appears* not to crash ... except that it *does* ... only now the facade remains erect but everything else behind it crashes causing all tabs to reload, and videos and music start to play.
And there is no way to stop it doing so.
The most key app of our day and it is a POS.

Safari the ONLY browser that works

Since upgrading to Leopard, I have been unable to use ANY other internet browser but Safari. Normally this wouldn't bother me since I prefer Safari, but there are some websites out there that don't play nicely with Safari and so other browsers are necessary. Each time I open Firefox/Netscape/Internet Explorer/Opera, I get this message:
"The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and your network connection and try again."
I continue to get this message until I force quit the application.
I've searched the the Apple discussions and the Firefox discussions countless times. I've emptied out any and all information from Firefox from my library. I've repaired my disk permissions more times than I can count. I JUST reinstalled Leopard. I performed updates beforehand. Shut down my computer for about 7 hours. Reinstalled. Performed more updates. Restarted. Installed Firefox. And I got the same message.
Is there really no solution or did Leopard some how screw my computer beyond repair?

+I have no idea why, but there is no version of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator that will run under Leopard, so there's no way you could have possibly replicated this problem in these applications on that machine.+
Sure there are! If you can find a copy of Internet Explorer 5.2, it'll run using Rosetta. There's even a pretty new version of Navigator out for the Mac that's a Universal Binary, although it's the end of the line. I have both running right now, just to be sure and to avoid putting my foot in my mouth.
Danielle, from what I remember that error is more of system message rather than an error from within the browser itself. Here are a couple of questions to get started:
Does the error show upon opening the browser(s), or when you try to navigate to a page? Is the problem with one specific website (Unlikely, I know, but you mention that "some websites don't play nicely" with Safari, which could lead someone to believe this is the case.) What kind of content are you trying to access? Your everyday run of the mill HTML page, or an FTP or directory, or...? Are you using a router? If so, what kind?
I know, lotsa questions and little help. The more info you can provide means a better chance for an answer.

Designing websites -- what code do I need to add to allow a pop behind window to open from one of my webpages? I have code, but Firefox is the only browser that won't pop behind. It pops on top instead. That's not what I want.

I have designed websites, and would like a pop under (new window) to be displayed BEHIND the current/open window. I have code that does this on all browsers except firefox. For some reason, Firefox insists on opening up the new window on top of the active browser window session. It covers the entire page. Reason is because I purposely have a new full-size window opening BEHIND the open browser. Is there some code I can add to my web page script that forces the new window to open up BEHIND the active/open browser, specific to firefox?

this is support forum, if you need help about developing please use developer irc channel

if you dont have irc, use mibbit
maybe they can help you :)
Good luck!

Is Safari the only Browser that works in osx

I have tried several other browsers for work realted stuff, and none of these browsers function properly, I wonder if the fix is in?

It might be easier to help you if you are more specific and detailed. What problems are you having with which browser(s)? Are particular sites involved, particular actions? Are particular needs not met? The more detail you can give the better response we can give.
To answer the question in your topic title, yes, there are 8 or 9 very good or excellent browsers for OS X. These include:
Camino
Firefox
iCab

<a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/">Mozilla Suite of Internet tools
Netscape Basically a branded Mozilla suite of Internet tools
OmniWeb
Opera
SeaMonkey A continuation of the Mozilla suite

Firefox is the only browser that need more than 700 ms accesstime, when others need only 10! Why is that???

I have tested Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Firefox is using between 500-1100 ms accesstime, using Bredbandskollen.se, while the other two only uses around 10 ms!

First of all, thank you for your response.
Below you can find the answers to your questions:
1) YES, I am using version 4, build 0024.00. Forgot to mention that I use Windows 7 64-bit and Firefox 11 (I don't use Chrome or IE)
2) I cannot confirm that, because the problem doesn't appear every time. For example, today EVERYTHING works OK! I haven't change anything or done something different, but since I boot my T410s, every site log in with ONLY one swipe (today even Yahoo for the first time). As I said, SOMETIMES PWM asks for one swipe, other for 2 and rarely for 3 swipes. But I think that when the problem appears, PWM need more than one fingerprint swipe every time I go to the website.
3) The setting for "before logging me into a Web site or application..." is "Every time". As I said, I need this setting to be "Every time", as my notebook sometimes is being used by other persons.
It is really a stange problem and when it appears it is very annoying. Have you any other ideas about what it's going on?

Why is iMovie the only app that sees my Canopus ADVC?

I'd like to do some audio recording through my Canopus ADVC 110. Yeah, I know, I could do it through the built-in audio in... but is that port really as good? Besides, what the heck did I buy this nice expensive box for, anyway?
But iMovie seems to be the only thing that it works with. I tried recording from Quicktime Pro, but all I get is a black screen, and no sound. And yes, I did select the ADVC as the video source, and DV audio as the audio source. No help.
Meanwhile, GarageBand doesn't seen to notice it, and even the Sound preferences panel doesn't acknowledge its existance as an audio source.
So what gives?

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows

Issues with Safari 3.0.1 for windows (at work):
Lenovo T60 with intel core duo T7200 @2.00Ghz plus additional monitor (Lenovo ThinkVision) in extended desktop mode running Windows XP Pro 2002, SP2
1. Taskbar is configured to autohide: when Safari is the top (active) window, it remains on top. If the taskbar pops up, it does so behind the Safari window, because I cannot see it.
2. If an open Safari window is dragged to the external (secondary) monitor, then maximized, it disappears to the side. It is not closed. I can still find it via Alt-tab or in the task bar and can, by right-clicking ‘Move’ from the taskbar use the arrow keys to move the window back into place. Clicking to reduce the window, then re-maximizing leads to the window disappearing to the side again.
3. In general my impression is that this does not function at a ‘beta’ level, but more of an ‘alpha’ level. Still very buggy.

This is a beta...thats why they give you the option to report probs via the bug icon. Since you are having these probs try and report them, I am not sure if apple has the time to scan these forums to try and find the big probs that people are having. So unless you report bugs, (and wait until the final realease) then they might never get noticed and or fixed.

Safari 5.1.7 for Windows, Can I get the Adobe Flash Player Update???

I just downloaded Safari 5.1.7 for Windows 7 and when I went to the YouTube page, it says that there is a missing plug-in and when I try to find a video, it shows this:
When I try to update the flash player, it only update my IE 9 and Google Chrome. I also have the lastest version of QuickTime and still doesn't work.

Thanks for the suggestion - removing my adblock and reinstalling the
flashplayer solved the problem, working fine now with new adblock which
will go bye-bye before I do the next update (not a fan of resorting to
swearing at my screen!)

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication

Safari for Windows will not log into IIS sites with Windows Authentication enabled. The IIS log has thousands of login attempts from Safari that result in 401 errors.
I disable Windows Authentication on IIS and it works fine. The problem with that is that my Windows clients stop working properly with seemless logins when I disable this.
The expected behavior is that Safari will work with basic authentication when NTLM does not work. That would result in a password prompt followed by a successful login instead of Safari stopping at "Loading" while hammering the IIS logs.
It does this on all machines that I have tried.
Any ideas or is this a bug?

I noticed that as well. I have to wonder if it's due to not making note of the the different end of line characters between Mac OS X and Windows in code.

Downloaded Safari 5.0.2 for Windows 7 - No Top Sites

My laptop used to have Windows Vista and I used Safari in this environment and had the top sites in Safari - I loved it.
Recently upgraded to Windows 7 (which is much better so far), downloaded Safari 5.0.2 and do not have Top Sites.
Does anyone know how I get the top sites on this new version of Safari?

Most likely, your computer needs a graphics card upgrade. I think that if your computer doesn't meet a specific graphics requirement (or it simply doesn't have the power), then Safari disables this option. Unfortunately, the only way to get top sites, from what I know from experience, you need to upgrade your video card.

Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
5gb Ram
I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
So... Where to go from here.
I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
Hope someone can help.

Anyone??
When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

HD slideshow is the only one that works for me.. WHY??

I have a new mac pro with lots of hd and ram 5GB.. so I don't think its my system.
What I need to know is that I can make an acceptable slideshow if
1) I lower the resolution of my photos from 3884x2600 to about 1024x1024
2) I create a imovie 720hd or 1080i HD.
ANY other format creates a lousy final picture quality when viewed on the TV. I get a shimmering, but not so noticible jaggies as some have posted. If I keep the photo still and not use KB.. the still images are ok, but not fantastic. The KB kills them. This seems opposite of what I have read of the bug in imovie6.
Can anyone explain why if I use the HD formats for Imovie the photos turn out ok?
I would like to keep them in a 4x3 format but can't if I use the HD formats. Is there a way to make it 4x3 after?
Anyway.. I have done a lot of testing and this is the best I can get so far.
