Description Mike.lifeguard 2009-09-25 02:26:26 UTC 
I had encountered this a while back:

Loading http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Mike.lifeguard/Screencasts gives a white page. Brion did some investigation back in the day and said (IIRC) that viewing the page pulls file metadata, which can cause an out-of-memory condition when the files are very large.

I guess the solution means loading metadata without pulling the whole file into memory, or not loading metadata (if that's possible).
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-09-25 16:57:27 UTC 
This bad boy is bug 19476... rumor there is that some large image files may also have this problem fetching EXIF data but the Ogg one seems the worst.
