Updating TMH to accept VP9 input should be very easy; it sounds like the holdup is getting a compatible version of avconv on the Ubuntu 14.04 servers. :(
Producing VP9 output as well would be slightly more work, but not hugely difficult once the avconv situation is worked out.
It sounds like input is a higher priority, as fetching open-licensed videos from YouTube tends to give VP9 by default nowadays...

We arent even at that hold up yet. The current hold up is even getting 14.04 on the video scalars.

Agh, what are they on now, 12.04? I might see if I can compile avconv 10 on that in case it's easier to throw in a custom package than to upgrade them. :P

Ok it looks relatively simple to build libav 10.5 on 12.04 and stuff it in its own little side directory where it won't interfere with anything.
libav 10.5 reads vp9 natively, and can output vp8 via the version of libvpx that ships on 12.04. That *ought* to be enough to handle import of vp9 .webm from YouTube etc, with our own vp9 output waiting for the future.
Got to run and do real work now, will see if I can wrap it up into a .deb later to make it puppet-friendly.
