Re-read the docs... :)

[QUOTE]
For content providers, Stage Video will work with all of the existing
video viewed in Flash Player once they utilize the new API in their
video player SWFs.  Developers can learn more about how to enable
their sites to take advantage of Stage Video today, and sites like
YouTube have already started adding early support for Stage Video.

I suspect Hulu's software needs to be updated to use Stage Video.
