I fully support this; since the web lacks a standardized
adaptive-streaming mechanism, doing this in JS is a good stopgap.
Although I do think we should continue to try and build a standardized
adaptive-streaming mechanism.
Do we have plans for an API that lets users record the video data that
is sent to the browser via MSE? Video-downloading is a very common
Firefox addons, and I believe that just as users can download <video
src=""> we should continue to provide users with the ability to save
videos even when they are delivered via MSE.
