Folks,
May I interrupt the programme with a very large THANK YOU ? For r77919 !
While you folks well consider this a trivial thing - having Frame Accurate Time
Codes is almost a seminal event for us here in professional broadcasting. For
us - this is a serious game changer. With frame accurate time codes* you can
suddenly (and for the first time!) start considering professional use. Consider
the internet as a place to (collaboratively) author professional video - rather
than just consume in low resolution. We just put up a:

largely as a thank you to all the folks here and in the wider open standard and
open source communities who came together to get frame-accuracy fixed. Andrew
Scherkus, Jer Noble, Eric Carlson, Andrew Scherkus, Matthew Gregan and Anthony
Hughes (and sorry for all those I forgot) - thanks!
By the way - IE9 is not far behind - MS has let us know that we "can expect the
video-frame-accurate seeking be available when IE9 is final".
So guys - really - thanks, big thanks! Apologies for the interruption - I'll
let you go back to your scheduled programming.
Dw.

*: well - ideally a lot better than frame-accurate - as audio is needs reliable
milliseconds.
