I hope that seekToNextFrame() will be standardized. It is useful for attentive viewing of fast-flowing processes, for example online games. This function is faster than currentTime and ensures that no frames will be missed.

Kindly standardize seekToNextFrame(). That method provides a means to get all images from a video file. Am not aware of any other standard or non-standard API that achieves that use case.

HTMLVideoElement.msFrameStep()
Steps the video by one frame forward or one frame backward.

We should remove this. Web Codecs is far better than this could ever be.

Comment 6

[Gregory Pappas [:gregp]]

Should this bug depend on shipping WebCodecs?

Comment 7

[Paul Adenot (:padenot)]

Not really no. It's related as far as what you can do with it, but doesn't depend on it.

Comment 8

This acrually works and has for some time. WebCodecs is just recently being shipped in Nightly AFAICT.

FYI FF128 MDN docs work for this can be tracked in https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/33986 (just compatibility data and release note).
