Your comment is so untrue that I guess that you're just trolling, but I just have to set the record straight.
From the latest serious and independent comparisons (see here: http://www.streamingmedia.com/Articles/Editorial/Featured-Articles/First-Look-H.264-and-VP8-Compared-67266.aspx, here: http://www.compression.ru/video/codec_comparison/h264_2010/appendixes.html#Appendix_8, and here: http://www.quavlive.com/video_codec_comparison), we can conclude that RIGHT NOW H264 offers slightly better quality than VP8 at the same bitrates. But remember that VP8 is much younger than H264 so it hasn't been optimized as much as H264 has. My bet is that in a year's time, both codecs will offer the same quality at comparable bitrates.
