Same here. ;-) Note that I do understand the need and am trying to explain how it can be made to work. Also I am trying to show that what might look as the simplest approach won't work and why. >> If you are, however, asking to turn the Ogg Theora video into a APNG >> or a animated GIF or even a MNG, there will need to be a transcoding >> step at the server, > > No no. > > If a browser can decode a frame or sequence of frames from an ogg, > then it can display them, and since it can display various image > formats in <img> (jpg, gif, png, apng, potentially mng, and in future > geckos SVG), then someone (not me!) is merely suggesting that ogg be > another one, either as a single frame or an animated sequence. All of the image formats that you are pointing out have an image mime type. I am merely pointing out that to support ogg theora browsers would need to support a video mime type in an <img> element. I don't see that as the intention of the <img> element, in particular since <img> elements do not have transport controls and the like. Otherwise, why did we create a <video> element in the first place. So, I am just pointing out that with current <img> element implementations and with the existing intentions of <img> elements (as opposed to <video> elements), using a segment of Ogg Theora video as defined through a media fragment URI will not work as an image resource and will also not work as a video resource. Hope that clarifies it. Regards, Silvia.
