Pretty good group to get things started. Probably a better idea than future royalties for a web standard.

But Google is donating a much better codec, called VP8, which it acquired with its purchase of On2 Techchnolgies.

VP8 is definitely better than OGG Theora. Better than H.264, though? No, not really.

The truth about H.264 royalties have become obscured by a thick cloud of FUD.

I volunteer in a fansub group that TL’s Japanese anime raws 24 hours after into English ince it is retrieved from Tokyo braodcast. H264 has been the de facto fave amongst downloaders but the format MKV even after all this time, is still alien to the general populace, so sometimes fansub groups use AVI format instead.
