I want to find out if I can get some data on the percentage wise distribution of video content, for different video codecs currently used for video encoding. I know there are different applications/use-case scenarios which have different encoder used but I want to consider all that and have a overall usage number(%)

My guess is(highest to lowest % of content) -

 H.264(AVC)

  DivX

  MPEG2

  VP6

  Where do H.263, MPEG4, VC-1, RV, Theora, etc. fit in here.

How may this look like in future?

PS:I would like this to be community wiki to have get wider range of inputs, if someone with privileges can do it for me please.

@The questions wasn't about 'crystal-balling'. It was looking for data and facts. Anyways you guy's seem to have done your job of closing it. ["not applicable to world-wide audience of the internet-- Hmmm , then how come Video is the largest portion of a data flowing over the internet, no need of a crystal ball to know that, i guess. – goldenmean Jan 4 '11 at 10:42

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.
