During development of some cloud service using html5, we find it is benefitial
to send frame to video element for display and interaction. But when we study
the internal implementation, it seems that video element must decode metadata,
then buffer enough amount of data for display.

Even if we set the video attribute autoplay, we can not prevent the buffer
behavior of video element, should it be better if video can support a
non-buffer mode? I think video game, video interaction will be very popular in
the future.

We have consider using Canvas, but a little more complex, and we need direct
video to Canvas using JS, which is not good for real time.

Can anyone give some hint or comment?
