Description Simon Fraser (smfr) 2012-01-17 18:19:09 PST 
We've been struggling to find a way to get a <video> into a pixel test result that works in Safari and Chrome.

* snapshotting on 'canplaythrough' doesn't how a video frame in Safari
* snapshotting on 'loadeddata' doesn't work in Safari
* playing, waiting for 'playing', then pausing and seeking to time 0 works in Safari, but not in Chromium.
* seeking and waiting for 'seeked' does work in Safari; Chromium throws some error about decoding; maybe it doesn't like seeking from 'canplaythrough' for a 1-sec video.

doesn't how a video frame -> doesn't show a video frame
