Bandwidth usage for 360p transcodes may be a bit

- 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
We don't even use the TMH <video> wrapper on mobile, so right now you
get..... um, usually a link to download the original full-resolution file.
That needs further work too. ;)
I've got a pretty good idea on how to handle adaptive streaming for ogv.js
and the iOS app (OGVKit), and am starting some background research on DASH
streaming and how that can work with native WebM browser & Android
playback. If I'm lucky, we can do all this without remuxing all the
high-resolution transcodes we already have...
Generally speaking, your suggestions sound like good ideas.
Yay! I'll whip up patches and tasks in a bit.
