This only seems to happen with Nvidia hardware and their latest set of drivers. Rolling back fixes the issue for SOME people. Turning off HARDWARE ACCELERATION in the Chrome settings fixes the issue.

Here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/XCmV6BQ.gifv

It only seems to be happening on the initial load. On successive loops it looks fine. It doesn't seem to be on actual gifs, but the mp4 file that's loaded. If you look at some other MP4s, they have the same behavior: http://www.html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/

It seems the imgur ones are the worst though.
This appears to be happening to tons of people on NVidia hardware. I've just updated to the newest GeForce driver, 375.70, 10/27 (I'm on a GTX 980 on Windows 10), and it's still occurring. It's even happening on the first few seconds of actual video clips as well.

Reddit thread has others saying the problem started with a recent NVidia update, which is what happened to me too. (Though I believe it was one or two versions back.)

Apparently Nvidia just released 375.76 that specifically addresses this issue, though I haven't tried it yet. 
Can confirm that 375.76 fixes this issue for me.

Tested this issue on Win10 [64 bit] machine and unable to reproduce it with GPU Intel R HD Graphics card - 54.0.2840.87 as we do not have NVIDIA machine to test it at our end.

Seems like its fixed as per # 9.
chriscardinal@, can you also please check it at your end and confirm ?
It seems to be fixed with Chrome 54.0.2840.87. Related to  bug #635319 . Here is the commit: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/b4a1aa2027fe32397fa67e59fedf49c78481188c

Not sure if this is a "fix" as it disables something. I haven't had the Nvidia driver pushed to me yet since it's still beta though.

Sounds like this is fixed with the zero copy fix.  Maybe this can be reverted and the old driver version blacklisted.  cc'ing the patch author as an FYI.
