The Video duration property is used for returning the length of a video. The Video duration property returns the value in seconds. Different browsers return different precision values such as with safari returning up to 14 decimal places followed by opera returning up to 9 decimal places. The Video duration property is a read-only property. The Video duration function returns “NaN” if no video is set whereas if the video is streamed and has no predefined length, it returns “Inf” (Infinity).
