H.264 has been getting a lot of press lately. Some
feel that it's the preferable codec to replace MPEG-2
in the future. See these links:

H.264 tutorial

I also heard a funny story (don't know if it's really
true) about a Microsoft employee who almost got fired
after writing and circulating an in-house paper that
compared H.264 to WM9. His analysis showed that H.264
is approximately 2dB better than WM9 with regards to
coded signal to original signal MSE (mean squared error)
ratio.
