You've heard all the noise about VP8, but how does it really compare to H.264? On November 2nd, at the Streaming Media West show in LA, Jan Ozer will present a hands-on demonstration comparing quality, encoding speed, and playback requirements of both codecs. Jan's presentation will also detail access to VP8 encoding from within live and on-demand encoding tools, the availability of hardware playback acceleration, and features like adaptive streaming. The session will also review VP8 usage by YouTube and other websites.
