Monty, All the more reason for the spec to be more explicit I think.

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). > You should see the poster - press play and it goes away and the video > plays. This seems to work fine in FF 3.6 and 4.0 beta for me. If it > doesn't work for you, please report a bug. You have preload set to none in these; if you set to metadata or auto, no poster :-( Monty
