a. with vp8 the biggest problem seems to be lack of any standard, so how would one make GPU accelerated decoders?
b. forart: all this comps are dealing with mainconcept h.264 for no logical reason? (x264 seems to be miles ahead at this point in time)
c. i couldnt find a single mention of easy to use streaming with webM, which is another barrier for longtail, common providers.
