Kritik: VP8 ist schlechter als H.264 - Golem.de

Kritik: VP8 ist schlechter als H.264 - Golem.de

VP8 ist schlechter als H.264

Der x264-Entwickler Jason Garrett-Glaser hat eine technische Analyse des von Google als Open Source freigegebenen Codecs VP8 veröffentlicht. Sein Urteil fällt kritisch aus. Vor allem die Spezifikation des Codecs sei katastrophal und die Qualität des Encoders liege irgendwo zwischen Xvid und Microsoft VC-1."
