That's a clever way to radically compress a video! It's like a final-video-back-to-storyboard converter.
One blemish on the in-page player is the 'loading' dialog that pops on each forward-frame.
The player could also benefit from an auto-advance feature... perhaps a fade from frame to frame? (How much faster than realtime could a show be watched this way? I've occasionally tried to watch a Tivo'd show at 2x with captions on, but captions get missed or excluded by the onscreen controls.)
Certainly could try doing a slideshow-plus-audio, too.
FYI, the PDF is about 23MB, 528 frames each 30-60KB each. IIRC, a standard-definition ~22 minute sitcom from ITunes runs 250-300MB in size.
