Safari already uses a transparent background by default and to me that doesn't seem like a bad idea -- it may be best to hide small 1px letterboxes due to rounding errors in aspect ratio calculation etc. Setting "background-color:transparent" to override the default black is probably less known to most authors and transparent background is also more in line with most other HTML elements. I would suggest eventually specifying this behavior in the rendering section, unless someone feels that default black letterboxes is very important. // Philip On Fri, 2008-06-13 at 21:02 +0000, Ian Hickson wrote: > On Fri, 13 Jun 2008, Philip Jgenstedt wrote: > > > > The issue with the poster attribute is resolved, but one comment made me > > remember something I've wondered about: > > > > On Fri, 2008-06-13 at 09:26 +0000, Ian Hickson wrote: > > > > > It's not impossible; first black would render 300x150, then the poster > > > > The spec says: Areas of the element's playback area that do not contain > > the video represent nothing. > > > > What does this mean?
