Video Codec Comparison

Posted by timothy on from the comprehensitivity dept.

FonkiE writes "Doom9 wrote a good article: After more than 3 weeks of work and no free time during that period it has been done: The latest codec comparison is online. 7 codecs have been put through one of the hardest tests in the history of codec testing. The results: find out on your own ;) I had planned to change the presentation somewhat but certain events (forum problems and such) prevented me from completing this for the release. I plan to eventually supply an updated version of the comparison."

    Oh that must suck sooooo much. After you publish your review, you lose your license to their pre-production release. So you have to go back to the web site and click 'Okay' again to obtain another license to their unfinished software. Right.

    Also, where's Ogg Theora? A video codec test isn't complete unless an alpha Free codec is there to rank with all the proprietary ones.

    Also, where's Ogg Tarkin? A video codec test isn't complete unless an vapourware Free codec is there to rank with all the real proprietary ones.
