I may try this later, but its also important to note that x264 is nowhere near the king at PSNR; last I saw Mainconcept could still beat it considerably at times. Yet in practice, Mainconcept often looks awful compared to x264, in some cases even being beaten out by Xvid. Partially because of this, I no longer consider PSNR graphs to be much proof of anything.

On2 has a particularly hard challenge because, as a promoter of purely proprietary formats, they have to both make a good format and make a good implementation--they are on their own. Even if they can overcome the odds and make a format that is significantly superior to H.264, if they are as obsessed with PSNR as they make themselves out to be, they surely have no chance of competing with x264.
