As many have commented here, the poor recruiter most probably just didn't understand/read it and quickly hit delete. For people who have worked on video coding and video content analysis, the paragraph that starts with "For example, for me, video distribution is a solved problem." is hilarious! Video codec landscape is a mess; free codecs still are a problem, wireless video distribution is spotty, etc. And, we still don't have robust automatic methods to label videos for a variety of domains and have to rely on user provided tags, a la YouTube. His point about licensing being a big problem is spot on, though.
