Sadly I have to agree with the last few comments. playing streamed video on 030, converted or not, is not going to work. Web-based javascript these days (think jquery, canvas etc) is way too intensive to play on any classic Amiga. The only thing that would be possible is (better) CSS support. That would already make a huge difference! If there was going to be a bounty, it should be just that.

no. streaming or sending the data uncompressed (which is already a very difficult task to get right) means you need loads of bandwidth at first. and then your machine needs to be able to handle all this data in time, too. the classic Amiga is not equipped for that.

Also, converting in the 'cloud' ? I think you are mixing up cloud computing and cloud storage here. both possible, but not for free.
