           Summary: Motion JPEG (MJPG) displays incorrectly, crashes
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://discord.itg.uiuc.edu/testing/MJPG_demo.php
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P4
         Component: Images
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: chas.conway at gmail.com


The Motion JPEG file/stream coming from our Axis video server (www.axis.com)
displays incorrectly and almost always ends up crashing Safari/Webkit either
soon after loading or upon unloading the page (e.g. visiting another url).

Worked in Safari up to the public beta of 3.0 and also seems to crash the
latest Webkit nightly.  The video image tended to appear to shake side to side
and vary dramatically in brightness.  The demo page listed may show all-black
video as unfortunately the video server's source isn't always connected.

In my web-app I switch an IMG element's src back and forth between static JPG
images and this live MJPG source which seems to exacerbate the problem.
