Well chrome doesn't use video acceleration any way. But even so, it should still be quite capable of decoding HD streams using your CPU and presenting them without dropping frames. No idea about Miro. VLC the last time I looked at it had some attrocious GL video decode pipeline (slower and tons of artifacts).
