I see, is this a policy that's applied even with a single <video> in a page, or is it something like a limit on the total number of players that can be created, or limits on how much stuff (decoders) they set up internally? Presto actually had a limit on the number of players on 32-bit systems, as one might otherwise run out of virtual memory with just a few hundred <video> elements... Philip
