this apparently can be worked around with gyp options:

"proprietary_codecs=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome branding=Chrome to allow
Chrome to play h.264 content, which is the only codec VAVDA knows about

this is described on a wiki page setting up hw video decode on **intel**

note: i haven't actually tried this! (but i would like to)
