Andy, This is an excellent suggestion. However, there is a detail that I failed to share at first which results in a couple of disadvantages: the video must play at normal speed usually and have a "slow" button that slows down playing. The resulting disadvantages:
1. When the slow button is clicked, the player needs to load the slow FLV, so it will have to buffer for a few seconds first. 2. When the slow button is clicked and the slow FLV finishes loading and buffering, the player will need to seek to the nearest keyframe. So the user will click the "slow" button and, depending on the keyframe metadata, the video might end up playing in slow motion starting from a few seconds earlier. Any ideas about circumventing these downsides? Thanks again for your suggestion. In spite of its obviousness I honestly hadn't thought of it before.
