[x264-devel] VP8 vs H.264 comparison

[Dmitriy Vatolin]

Dear developers,

  VP8 has recently attracted a lot of interest after it was owned by
  Google. As you know, on May 2010, the WebM Project was launched,
  featuring contributions from "Mozilla, Opera, Google and more than
  forty other publishers, software and hardware vendors" in a major
  effort to use VP8 as the codec for HTML5.

  As one of appendixes to the annual H.264 comparison report
  an additional VP8 encoder vs. x264 encoder comparison was presented.

  We have tested VP8 encoder and compare its encoding quality and
  speed with x264.

  The final report contains all RD-curves, bitrate handling analysis and
  speed/quality graphs. Six different VP8 presets were tested which
  were chosen with the help of VP8 developers (so those were VP8
  developers guided settings).

 Dr. Vatolin
