Okay had some time to figure it out this morning.   Something has
changed to blacklisting for the gpu process and this is causing the
problem.

If you are experiencing the problem, go to:

chrome://gpu

You should notice that everything's red and the GPU process is not
even loaded.

Now go to:

chrome://flags

Change the following field to disable the blacklist:

Override software rendering list Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, Android
Overrides the built-in software rendering list and enables
GPU-acceleration on unsupported system configurations.
#ignore-gpu-blacklist
Disable

The page will give you the option to relaunch chrome.   Do so and
videos will now play successfully.

So there are basically two bugs:

- - ATI gpus under freebsd are being blacklisted
- - software rendering is not working correctly.

For this last problem I got software rendering to work ONLY by loading
a video page and going to tools->developer tools and highlighting
basically any element and the video would render.
