There are many discussions about how Theora should be used and about how it smokes x264 somehow.
I do not believe it or at least I don’t believe the proofs till I try myself.
Any of the Theora zealots reading could please provide a reproducible benchmark so everybody could see for themselves how good/bad Theora is?
A script that fetches the new theora encoder, ffmpeg, takes an original, produces two videos using theora and h264 (no audio), same bitrate for both and in the end outputs cpu and memory usage would be great.
