That sounds good when you read the datasheets but real world results are a bit different. Also, what you're referring to is encoding comparisons all from a raw source - not mpeg2 vs. the same mpeg2 reencoded in h264. I can't stress enough that there is no magic to be had here for the reasons in my previous post.

And I wonder is there still much room for improvement in current H264 encoders? The various MPEG 4 part 2 codecs (DivX etc) improved a great deal over time, and ISTR reading that the first H264 encoders offered almost no practical improvement over the newest part 2 codecs at the time.
