"Reduce video bitrate by 50% with image quality comparable to VP8 (SSIM, PSNR)."

This to me says they aren't looking to increase the video quality just reduce the bandwidth? 50% lower bandwidth than webm isn't as good as hevc is in quality terms.

Google should just joing forces with mozilla and xiph and help with Daala video codec development. It says that NGOV must work on core i5 processors that are out in Q3 2013, so presumably NGOV won't be out atleast until then.
