A comparison of VP3, and two MPEG-4 variants
a couple points before I look at this too hard:
"For VP3, since you can't do a constant quality encode"
what?  that should not be the case.  Could be a QT-specific bug. Theora at any rate is certainly capable of doing constant-quality encode.  This probably explains your standard deviation complaint -- VP3 is running a rate control alg, where the other codecs are just shooting for
