Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - WebM Exciting New Video Standard with VP8, Vorbis, Matroska

I see the comments on how it compares to X264 but I was wondering on how it compares to XviD. I am not really an expert in video but to me XviD@Q=3 is approx equal the quality of X264@Q=22 (single pass of course); but the XviD video filesize is appox 25-35% larger.

So if VP8 video quality equals X264@Q=22 for 10-20% larger filesize I could live with that.

I guess all the decoder boxes out there (Popcornhour, WD TV Live, Seagate Theater, etc) will never play VP8; right?
