The opposite has happened. Steve Jobs introduced H.264 as providing significantly higher quality at the same or lower bitrate. He shows an still from an existing MPEG-4 video and then a much higher resolution still from an H.264 encoded MPEG-4 video and claims that they require the same bitrate. He brings out Frank Casanova who goes on for 5 minutes or so about quality at lower bitrates.
