I've been testing Ogg and WebM video playback on my various iOS devices https://github.com/brion/OGVKit in prep for adding playback support to the Wikipedia iOS app. Here's a few notes on our infrastructure:
*Bandwidth*
Bandwidth usage for 360p transcodes may be a bit tight for flaky 3G networks, but the only lighter transcode we have is a tiny tiny 160p.
- Recommend adding a 240p transcode step with intermediate bandwidth.
Given we (I mean TMH) show the transcode based on screen resolution, not available bandwidth, I'm not sure if anyone would see the 240p step. Cell phones with their high def screens probably get the HD transcodes :S
Generally speaking, your suggestions sound like good ideas.
