That’s Funny

Mozilla evangelist Christopher Blizzard:

The VP8 codec represents a vast improvement in quality-per-bit
over Theora and is comparable in quality to H.264.

As Arnold Kim quipped, it’s funny how companies like Mozilla are now open about how crappy Ogg Theora is now that Google has open-sourced VP8. E.g., here’s Christopher Blizzard just four months ago:

On the quality side what we’ve been able to do at Mozilla, with
the help of the rest of the Xiph community, is to show that even
though Theora is based on older, royalty-free technology, most
people can’t really tell the difference between a video encoded
with a decent Theora encoder and a video encoded with H.264.
