Doom9's Forum - View Single Post - MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video codecs comparison

You really shouldn't allow misleading comments by developers to be posted like that. They claim that artifacts from MPEG compression "benefit H.264 and MPEG" and bias against VP8, but VP8 has almost the exact same transform scheme as H.264, and the same transform size. The "bias" against VP8 should be practically the same as the bias against any other H.264 encoder.

This kind of lie has been spread constantly when it comes to any non-MPEG video format; the same was repeated over and over with Theora, despite the fact that Theora's transform is practically identical to MPEG-1/2/4.
