Re: WebM killed Theora project?

The good point is the benefit to have a reasonable amount of choices,
here 2 good free video codecs.

Very bad comparison :-(

That's the bad point for Theora. Nevertheless, even if Theora completely dies
one day in future, there will be a possible benefit left:

"Without Theora, the VP8/WebM things would not have become
that good or arrived at all"

So Theora development will not reasonably ever be considered as "just
waste of time" :-)

BTW, anyone is aware of some technical comparisons VP8 vs Theora:

- Performance (VP8 bad for now?)
- Quality/Compression efficiency
- Codec complexity/bloat
- Features (color:YUV/RGB/grey ... frame size limits ... fixed length
videos/streaming ...)
