Here are comments from Geoff Freed, our rep to the SYMM committee, on slowing down multimedia presentations: GF: [microsoft's] sami demos are the only things i've ever seen that give the player speed control. smil-boston contains info on author-specified acceleration and deceleration, but doesn't give the player and user control of speed. so i guess the answer is... no, at least for now. [microsoft's] demos slowed down or sped up both video and captions, and automatically muted the audio. the audio slowed down at the same rate as the video, too, but you had to cancel the mute button first in order to hear it. MR: These are the demos I mentioned that use scripting to create a UI which sends altered content to the Windows Media Player. WMP didn't implement this feature natively in its UI, though it can provide the feature when scripted properly. -Madeleine
