Richard,

I'm not sure if you've followed the posts where I've blatantly
advertised /Libre Video/ (librevideo.org), but I actually intended that
website to be a resource for, amongst other things, developers such as
yourself to collaborate on free software implementations of royalty-free
codecs for hardware purposes.  The site is still in its infancy, but let
me know what you think about that, and what I can do for you and others
like you to facilitate truly free-and-open hardware-accelerated
implementations of codecs such as Theora, VP8, and so on.
