Hardware implementation of webm - starting point?

[Huaxin Dai]

Hi all,

 

I just started reading the specs of webm and I'm interested in putting them in dedicated hardware, like FPGA or even ASIC blocks. The idea is that this might be useful when webM gets widely used, mobile devices may like a better performance over compiled code for ARM/MIPS/etc. (After all it's web+media, and mobile device nowadays really likes both of them) By including a specific block into the CPU arch performance on video should be boosted. So if hardware ppl (like me) wants to start doing this, where should I start? Any suggestion is appreciated.
