video accel != graphics accel
it sounds like your confusing video decoding acceleration with graphics acceleration.
I guess you could use OpenCL but not openGL, i dont see how there's anything in there that could be good for video decoding or incoding. SIMD would be good for this, they already published libraries to access the CPU SIMD capacity with SSE (altivec on PPC).
Nvidia and ATI published their own api's for video acceleration. there is only one in windows but that's because DriectX does more than graphics acceleration, the GL in openGL stands for Graphics Language. DirectX does more. Apple has their own video decoding library

I'm just surprised then that OGL hasn't tried to become the dominant video accel API in response to that. What does VA and VDPAU have that OGL lacks?
