Actually, the browser behavior is all more complicated than this.... the preload attribute is influencing it strongly.... eg, FF4 doesn't show the poster if 'preload' is not set to 'none'.... And I was wrong now that I recheck chrome... it too replaces poster with first frame, but the poster shows up constantly in flickers (eg, during seeking).
