H.264 decoding

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey I love tenfourfox and the fact that it accelarates webm video, but I'd like 
to know I'f you'll ever add support for h.264 video in youtube?

I'm not opposed to the idea, but it would have to be a completely separate 
component. Part of the reason for the QuickTime Enabler is so that video plays 
outside of the browser and doesn't have to be composited (and therefore can be 
hardware accelerated).

If someone knows different or has seen ways in which H.264 was directly 
incorporated into the Fx build stack (this would obviously not be sanctioned by 
Mozilla), I'll look at it, but I would be unlikely to work on this with the QTE 
existing and especially while we remain at source parity.

Mozilla is looking into it themselves, so we should defer to them.
