--- Comment #5 from Aaron Colwell <acolwell@chromium.org> ---
As discussed on last week's teleconference call, it is unlikely that support
for non-fragmented MP4 files will be added to MSE.

While ad providers don't support fragmented MP4 files today, they likely will
in the future to gain adaptive streaming benefits like the primary content
receives. I understand that this may cause some pain or delays in the short
term, but those are business problems and not the result of a technical
deficiency in the spec. Adding support for non-fragmented files when it is
pretty clear that these will become less common over time, just adds complexity
and legacy support burden for UA vendors.

If you would like to continue discussion of this, I'd recommend starting a
thread on the public-html-media@ list. I'm closing this bug for now since there
is no action here to update the spec.
