I don't think this is a problem at all. We already have this situation elsewhere, e.g. what if you do <link rel=stylesheet href=movie.webm>? If it really turns out to be a problem you could just apply the hardware limitations clause and abort parsing if you haven't found any cues after parsing X bytes or whatever. In any case, the spec currently requires text/srt (or other supported subtitle format MIME type) for <track>, so a movie file would be rejected based on the MIME type per spec (see step 4 in #sourcing-out-of-band-timed-tracks). -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
