Would love to see someone explain what this library does in simpler terms. I can't tell which terms are buzzwords, which are industry standard, and which terms are from their own internal vocabulary. PubSub? PubSub to what? Can you give som

As a person who encodes video for the web for a living I can tell you we won't be switching to WebM because of iOS and other hardware devices that have hardware based decoding. H.264 is the closest thing to a ubiquitous codec there is and a
