That seems likely at least. You could actually use ML for all of the video decoding, but that research is still in it's early stages. It has been done rather well with still images [1], so I'm sure it'll eventually be done with video too. Those ML techniques are still a little slow and require large networks (the one in [1] decodes to PNG at 0.7 megapixels/s and its network is 726MB) so more optimizations will be needed before they can see any real-world use.
