Reading through the fluff On2/Google's VP8 codec still looks pretty interesting:

It will be interesting to see if Google pulls it out as an alternative to H.264.
- MikeCapone 17y agoAnyone has hands on experience with that codec? Are those claims true?
- sketerpot 17y agoIf VP8 is half as good as they claim, Google could make it a very serious competitor to H.264. They own the codec, they own YouTube, they have a web browser and a smartphone OS and they're coming out with Chrome OS before too long. They have leverage.
- jon_dahl 17y agoNo hands-on experience, but VP6 was a pretty good codec - at least XviD/DivX/MPEG-4 level, and quite a bit better than Theora. If VP8 > VP6, and it was free, then it would definitely be worth using.
