I'm inclined to agree. I think it's odd that an attribute is being added to fix video's encoded incorrectly. Why can't the author of the video fix the actual video? One of the arguments for captions being embedded in video's rather than having some way of defining captions by the page author was that it's important not to use HTML to fix broken videos, and allow captions to travel with the file. The same argument could be made for pixel ratio. Fixing it in the HTML means everyone linking to the file using <video> will need to remember to add pixelratio to their HTML. Better to fix the file. Can someone provide examples of videos on the web that are currently broken, and a pixel ratio that would fix it? As an HTML author that wants to embed a video on my website I don't think I'd have any idea how to come up with a pixel ratio to fix it. Chris. -- http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz
