So if we're not too fussy about quality/performance, what are the criteria
for choosing a video codec?



When trying to figure out what a working group is *supposed* to be doing, I'd generally start with its charter: " the working group will try to avoid encumbered technologies that require royalties or other encumbrances that would prevent such technologies from being easy to use in web browsers."

StW: Oh good.  Let's fall back to H.261, or skip video altogether.  Case closed.
