      I would have to agree with this. I've had problems viewing links to .mov or ogg encoded video streams and if I do not have the proper filter installed in firefox all I get is streams of jibberish that would decode to video and audio had I installed the proper plugins.

        It's definitely not.
        On this error page they asked me to report this to then and give them this block of code.

        So it's some real stuff, not an accidental chunk...

          Could be a portion of a movie file that caused the error. The YouTube staff might want to analyze it so see where the exception got thrown.

          Why they need you to send them the data manually instead of using an automated logger, though.... Dunno about that one.

            It does seem a little odd, given that they had to transmit it to you in the first place.

              Could be generated client-side.

                  Just for fun paste the whole thing. I'm curious to see it.

                    Ok guys.
                    Here it is.
                    When I got the error page I saved it, and now, by popular demand I've uploaded it!

                    Here's the link.


                    I was innocently trying to watch a video when I got this page.

                    So I turned here for help in decoding it....

                      Looks like it can only be deciphered by highly trained monkeys.

                        Just superficially, it seems a lot like what you see if you look inside a JPG file.

                          Not quite.
                          I have an inkling, but I am not going to post it 'till I get this taken apart completely.
