I'm specifically interested here in a new beta feature of Divx web player for Windows (I don't know whether they will make it for the linux version as well) called HIQ,
that supposedly (I haven't seen it work yet, in Windows it actually freezes my browser, but well, it's obviously very much beta) allows you to play Flash videos from a number of big video sites in mp4 (I think?) format. This is supposed to mean a significant decrease in CPU usage compared to Flash and thus less strain on the battery - see here:

My question is, could this work, now or in the near future, in maemo? Since divx format is obviously well supported by the n900, Flash player is heavy on the hardware, html 5 hardly used at the moment - is this a viable alternative for mobile web video? In fact, everybody is asking for Adobe Flash functionality in mobile browsers, 10.1 has made that a lot harder to accomplish - so why hasn't a mobile version of web-divx been tried much earlier? Or am I thinking total science fiction?
Any web video experts out there?

I use userscripts on Arch Linux to open videos from my Opera to my VLC player. You can use userscripts with Greasemonkey on MicroB.

You can find userscripts for popular sites like YouTube from here for example. You can also easily code your own userscripts, if you have some JavaScripts skills.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your reply right, because I don't even know morse code, let alone Java Script
Are you saying that the right userscript with Greasemonkey will let me stream video content that is available in Adobe Flash > out of MicroB > to Maemo Media Player? Is that what you are telling me?
