Hello list, are there any plans on adding frame accuracy and/or SMPTE support to HTML5 video?
As far as I know it's currently impossible to play HTML5 video frame-by-frame, or seek to a SMPTE compliant (frame accurate) time-code. The nearest seek seems to be precise to roughly 1-second (or nearest keyframe perhaps, can't tell). Flash seems to be the only solution that I'm aware of that can access video on a frame-by-frame basis (even though you the Flash Media Server to make it work). Seeking to a SMPTE time-code is completely impossible with any solution I have looked at. Very interested to learn what the community POV is, and why it isn't already implemented. thanks, Rob
