The .start/.end properties were dropped in favor of media fragments, which the Media Fragments Working Group is producing a spec for. It will be something like http://www.example.com/movie.mov#t=12.33,21.16 See http://www.w3.org/2008/01/media-fragments-wg.html and http://www.w3.org/2008/WebVideo/Fragments/wiki/Syntax#Examples > Actually, out of curiousity: could gapless concatenation of several > audio objects be added as well, e.g. > > audioObject1.append(audioObject2) > > or even > > audioObject.join([audioObject1,audioObject2,...,audioObjectN) There has been much discussion about audio "canvas" API:s and I trust this could fit into that scope. View source at http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/video.html#video and search for "v2" and you'll find some of these ideas. -- Philip J?genstedt Opera Software
