I replied as soon as I was able to review your example. You argued that a QuickTime movie can be used to make the host computer execute arbitrary algorithms and that rationalized your demand that the video element should support arbitrary virtual machines, including Adobe Flash. I would like to have a look at a convincing example supporting your argument; the one you provided is not satisfactory because it is a mere redirection.

It seems irrelevant whether the video stream is embedded or linked from another location or using a different transport; it is still a video stream and the QuickTime player only displays it. On the other hand, Shockwave Flash is Turing-complete. That is a big difference. I am very disappointed.

Was that intended? It's an ordinary QuickTime Movie and works fine. The content is irrelevant, but it shows that the files one will embed with <video> often won't actually contain any video media. This will be the case with every metafile format (.asx, .sdp, etc.), and nearly all modern container formats (.mov, .asf, .swf) that can reference media that lives elsewhere. -- Charles
