Is there anywhere to get the vp9 codecs that will run on OSX Mavericks+ yet?
I just want experience with them; not planning to publish in vp9/WebM until wider official acceptance (if ever).

Hello William,
If you would like to get the codecs, you can build it easily yourself by following instructions here for compiling ffmpeg [1]. However, if you just want to try playing back WebM/VP9 files, you can install the latest VLC[2] as the easiest way to test it out.
Finally, if you would like to encode videos in WebM/VP9, here are instructions for encode settings in ffmpeg[3]. And if you have more question, you can always ask it on webm-discuss@webmproject.org[4] mailing list. THanks.
