video-encoding

Hi,

I want to find out if I can get some data on the percentage wise distribution of video content, for different video codecs currently used for video encoding. I know there are different applications/use-case scenarios which have different encoder used but i want to consdier all that and have a overall usage number(%)

My guess is(highest to lowest % of content) -

H.264(AVC)
DivX
MPEG2
VP6

Where do H.263, MPEG4, VC-1, RV, Theora, etc. fit in here.

How may this look like in future?

PS:I would like this to be community wiki to have get wider range of inputs, if someone with privileges can do it for me please.

thank you.
