Comment #11 on issue 13416 by [email protected]: html5 <video> tag doesn't  
work on Linux

@nekohayo: gstreamer is viable in Win and Mac environments too?

IMO ffmpeg was the correct choice, some people often criticize Google for  
not using
liboggplay or libtheora for decoding Theora streams but IMHO Google do the  
right
thing allowing us to have more codec support via ffmpeg. One very nice  
thing about
ffmpeg is that it supports VDPAU/VA-API video acceleration and decoding  
APIs although
I have not tested yet but it could (in theory) accelerate h.264 decoding in  
supported
Nvidia/ATI/Intel cards.

If I find some time will check and report back if Chromium accelerates  
h.264 video
decoding via VA-API/VDPAU in my Nvidia desktop. Sadly Theora is not  
supported neither
in VA-API nor VDPAU ... yet.
