Flash Player 10,1,53,64 crashes when publishing cam for some device
We are facing some strange behaviour with the new FP 10,1,53,64. Some Windows user seem to have a Plugin crash as soon as you publish the stream. The funny thing is that I have the same Windows7, FP 10,1,53,64 on another device, working fine
). While some people tried 2-3 boxes and all crashed
(.
The behavior can be quite easily duplicated: You can just goto the Youtube Self Recording application (http://www.youtube.com/my_webcam) as soon as you hit on the button in the Security Dialog, Flash Player crashes.
Here are some sample screen

Crash:

There is no difference in IE or Firefox. The webcam the user was using was a cyberlink webcam. Other Laptop’s with integrated webcam did crash too.
There seems to be already some buzz about that at:

Hope guys @ Adobe will come up soon with an update, before my clients bang my head against the wall
