[whatwg] Video : Slow motion, fast forward effects

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Hello,

Note that I said "when it is available".


I'd strongly encourage Codec/Plugin developers to add support for it.  As I
know you'll have a certain class of web developers screaming for this
feature.  (And you'll be able to create alot of "cool" stuff with it :-)  )
