H.264 gains on Windows Media

By Scott McNulty

I'll be the first to admit that I am no streaming video expert, but I have used H.264 for some personal projects and I really like the results I get. It looks like, according
to a report by  StreamingMedia.com, the H.264 codec (which is the bit that you use to encode videos into H.264) is more efficient than the Windows Media codec,
however, both fall behind RealVideo (yes, you read that correctly).

RealVideo may be 'better' than H.264 but the Quicktime player doesn't make me cry, so I think I'll stick with H.264.
