.. or people could just accept the fact that, for now, flash video is "the thing" and dumping resources into the fledgling open-source flash toolkit (whatever its called) is probably the best short-term bet. I vaguely remember hearing h323 container support into flash popping up so a flash player can just pipe data into hardware rather than doing the (bulk of the) decoding itself but I'm just not on top of any of that technology.
