Re: [rtcweb] VP8 vs H.264 - subjective evaluation

[Krasimir Kolarov <[e-mail]>]

To be very clear for the IETF community:

As Harald’s slide deck notes on Slide 2, these subjective test results were not presented nor discussed at MPEG meetings. Hence they only reflect the opinion of the VP8 proponents.

The only subjective tests that were presented at the meeting compared VP8 and IVC (the Internet Video Coding proposal considered by Mpeg, which is different than AVC Constrained Baseline). 
Those tests raised a lot of controversy during discussions at the meeting and in fact some of the results had to be excluded because of significant differences in comparison conditions (rate control, etc.). This is not unlike recent discussions on this reflector about comparisons of VP8 and H.264 Constrained Baseline.
