The current result of hardware decoding support shows some difference than our expectation. Eg. we expect hardware decoding support for avc would be higher.

But we ignore a fact that for small videos, the platform decoder won't choose to use hardware decoding. I checked this video on MacOS, for 640*360, we would still get the hardware decoding. But once the video resize to pretty small, like less than 100, we would get the software decoding.

That means, if users (who's setup can defintely support hardware decoding) watch small resolution avc video before they end the browsing session (we use scalar to record the data, which is only one recorded value per browsing session), then the result of decoding support would become to software, which is not something we want to see.

Therefore, when calculate the result, we should filter out the small videos, because we don't really care about them.
