Originally this project started out just as a personal test so I could determine what was the best encoder and render settings to use. So I created a test video that would hopefully be very challenging for the encoders. Eventually I decided to put all my results into a video so others can learn from my test.
If any codec experts watch and notice something incorrect let me know and I can add a note to the video. I want this to be as accurate and helpful as possible.
I also show how render directly to the VP8 codec with MP3 for the audio, for those who don't want to use the patent encumbered H.264.
Look in the video description, there are links so you can skip ahead and links to all the test videos so you can compare for yourself.
