That videos should never start to play without my consent. No more bgsound-hellish experiences. Advertisers will protest, but I'd say it is up to them to make their commercials so appealing that I'd want to play the video in question. 1b. If not (1) That video does not play automatically in a window/tab that does not sit in the foreground. I tend to scroll wheel click on links a lot. if there is video content on the page that has just opened behind the one I am currently in and I would like to watch it, I'd definitely prefer to start it when I flip tabs. 2. I would like greater control than just start, stop, pause, forward, back and perhaps moving a slider. Looking at this: http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=cccd4aa02a3993ab06e56af731346f78.2006940 Would it not be great if I could *navigate* to different parts of the video according to some headlines: - Douglas C: opening - Chris Wilson on... - Chris Wilson on... ... - H?kon Wium Lie on ACID 2 - H?kon Wium Lie on the proposed <video> element Etc Instead of relying on notes saying: "So and so starts x minutes into the video". Perhaps some sort of "goto" function with associated labels? Lars Gunther
