Just a quick reply: where do you see free codecs in Flash that can  
benefit from HW acceleration? Do you really think Flash would ever  
support free codecs...? Do you really think there are free codecs  
competitive enough with H.264 to be used as a replacement? Currently,  
I strongly believe the answers to all of those is 'no' and I doubt  
this would change for Flash.

Longer answer later.
