Apple Technical Note TN2267: Xcode additions for the Video Decode Acceleration Framework
The Video Decode Acceleration framework is a C programming interface providing low-level access to the H.264 decoding capabilities of compatible GPUs such as the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 320M or GeForce GT 330M. It is intended for use by advanced developers who specifically need hardware accelerated decode of video frames.

This may be yet another entry way into hardware accelerated video decoding on Intel Macs, POSSIBLY even the AppleTV if 10.6.3 is pushed to the ATV OS in the future. The GeForce Go 7300 that's powering the AppleTV already supports PureVideo, we just need a hook into it, this may be the hook.
This may also be wishful thinking...
