Hey Thiago,
That was my first serious concern as well. My thought was to make sure
that its future proof for a later port to Scene Graph. But if they are
already working on video-on-scene-graph thats a different sort of
wrinkle entirely.

Are you talking about some sort of QtMultimedia project? What people
are working on this? Obviously for Phonon something limited to
hardware-accerlated isn't enough, since someone might want to play a
video that isn't H264. But regardless we should make sure any work is
synced.

Thanks,
Ian
