Basically this should work...

So these lines of code make your video jump to the specified time.
To make the code jump back a specified duration you first need to get the actual currentTime like this...

var myvideo = document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0];
var currentTime = myvideo.currentTime;
var duration = 2;

myvideo.currentTime = currentTime-duration;
