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.
