I assume one cannot add additional codecs to this without browser support? so e.g. I want to use NVIDIA NVENC to encode H.264 video, but that won't happen until my browser has implemented support for it.

This would be done at the OS level, no? a mediaFoundation codec for nvenc/nvdec (or rather it's new name, which Ive forgotten), or via V4L2 etc

Would be frustrating to write an OS codec and have to wait for chromium to explicitly integrate my own codec
