2. Can anybody show a sustainable objection for why we _can't_ use H.261.
If they can, we're probably doomed. If they can't we have an initial
choice for MTI.
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.
