Hello, Since the video codec issue has been reopened I'd like to make a quick comment. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Jul/0408.html Vorbis and Theora being lossy codecs, reusing them over and over would result in poor quality. Adding fade in/out attributes to the audio/video elements, would make it possible for content creators (everybody) to reuse vorbis/theora files. They could cut the files without re-encoding and HTML fade in/out would smooth out the ends. With copyright license permitting, all the vorbis/theora media on the Web would become reusable media objects. The idea for fade in/out attributes comes from SMIL. SMIL 2 had fade in/out for visual media, SMIL 3 added it for audio: http://www.w3.org/TR/SMIL3/smil-transitions.html##TransitionEffects-AudioTransitions Thanks for re-opening video. Jose
