Yes, I think that the video restarts from the beginning if you click stop and then start is what should happen since the video ends. If you want you can compare it to another svg animation that you do the same thing with begin/end on. There is a DOM method in SVGT12 for pausing a particular element though (see [1]), but that wasn't supported in the video-build of Opera unfortunately. > However, now I'm trying to add a progress-meter slider (allowing the > user to > slide between portions of the video) without scripting.

Since SVG is XML I guess there's nothing preventing you from doing that. The xforms spec has at least one or two svg examples IIRC. However Opera does not support XForms currently. > However, if there are no such native resources in Opera's implementation > of SVG, then what scripting will be needed for the creation of something > similar to Apple.com's AJAX-based progressbar? Which progressbar? Pointer please? :) I think that SVGT12 has the necessary DOM methods for doing start, stop and pause. Additionally there are progress events that allow you to check loading progress. Furthermore there are the events for streaming video, handled by the Media Access Events spec[2], which is still in Working Draft status which means it may still change a bit. MAE and progressevents are not supported in the video-build though.
