"Chris Montgomery, otherwise known as Monty, is the founder of Xiph.org foundation and creator of the Ogg container format. He has been sponsored by Red Hat for several years to improve the codec quality of Theora and the next generation version, called Thusnelda, is already proving to be better than H264 as bitrate increases. Monty has posted some test results demonstrating the improvements. Chris Blizzard from Mozilla Foundation has some updates as well."

I think that all Monty states is that Thusnelda is improving, and closing the gap to x264, before other subjective tuning measures are applied. I infer from his statements that he believes Thusnelda will at some point be as good or better than x264, but it hasn't happened yet according to his page: http://web.mit.edu/xiphmont/Public/theora/demo7.html

This page was edited after I had submitted the story to OSNews. The original page did have some claims about being ahead of H264 which was found to be a miscalculation sometime after I had submitted the story. Bad timing.

No big deal, I just figured there were people reading this list who probably would be interested in his clarifications. I just read his page myself.
