Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Take the attached file and open it in Chrome such that a video player element wraps it (can just be dragged and dropped into Chrome)
2. Observe that it does not work
3. (With FFMPEG installed) run `ffprobe -report bad-file.mp4` and observe the line "Duration: 00:00:02.84, start: -3.142500, bitrate: 1998 kb/s"
4. Run `ffmpeg -i bad-file.mp4 -avoid_negative_ts make_zero fixed-file.mp4` and repeat the above steps. Notice the start time is now 0 and the browser correctly plays back the video.

What is the expected behavior?
MP4s should decode properly, no error is found when error checking, just a negative start time which (in my limited knowledge of the spec) appears to be acceptable.

What went wrong?
File does not play.

Did this work before? Yes 

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

This was pointed out by members of my team who claim this video had been working as a test video for a web app we are developing. I isolated it to this bug with the decoding (outside of our team's control) and they say the video works fine in older Chrome as well as FF.
