maybe try updating to the latest flash player might work

Does your video just display a green screen before chrome locks up?

If so, pause the video as soon as it turns green (that'll stop it crashing chrome) then right click on the video and click settings, then disable hardware acceleration - that fixed it for me

Now I just need to work out which codec/driver screwed it up!!

Chrome has in built flash, so you will have to wait till it is updated. For me it was the x64 plugin that needed updating...

nope, no green screen, just stays on the usual 'i havent loaded any of the video yet' black screen and chrome promptly crashes

is there any way of manually updating the x64 plugin on chrome?

afraid not since they went down this route...good news is it's only 6 weeks between releases. i'd be tempted to try a different browser (perhaps firefox?) with the latest updated flash and see if it still happens to narrow it down...
