- othermaciej 16y agoThe following blog posts from an x264 developer point out problems with the spec, including discrepancies with the implementation and chunks of cut&pasted C code: http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/377 http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/377 http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/486 http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/archives/486 Unfortunately, the VP8 Internet-Draft seems to be just a plaintext version of the bitstream guide complained about above, including the disclaimer that the implementation takes precedence and the snippets of C code. It would need a lot of work to actually be published as any kind of standard, this perhaps being a reason Google is going the individual submission RFC route.
