Theora DID not produce quality comparable to H.264Theora DID not produce quality comparable to H.264Posted Jan 26, 2010 23:02 UTC (Tue) by rickmoen (subscriber, #6943)In reply to: Theora does not produce quality comparable to H.264 by DonDiego Parent article: Blizzard: HTML5 video and H.264 - what history tells us and why we're standing with the web
I can't help noticing that the basis of comparison was the Theora 1.0 codec, which was certainly relevant in June 2009, when the author wrote that comparison, but is no longer. It would be accurate to say that Theora did not stack up well towards H.264. However, I hear that things have changed. Rick Moen

No, the test was done with 1.1 alpha current from that date. 1.1 is indeed much improved over 1.0, but the alpha already carried all the quality improvements. See also

which clearly shows how far 1.1 improves over 1.0 and also how it fares compared to other codecs.
