I have not seen a convincing argument that H.261 performs well enough to permit real-time video communication at reasonable quality and bitrates. I have not seen recent statistics for Germany but I suspect it is common that household members share a line with an upstream of around 640 kbps, that would basically allow for two 320x240 H.264 CBP + Audio streams at 30 fps in good quality. Would H.261 permit at least one stream at the same quality? If not, then nobody would use H.261-only WebRTC products, and people are not going to appreciate if a VP8 product connecting with a H.264 product falls back to H.261 to avoid negotiation failure. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@xxxxxxxxxxxx · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
