I have to admit that the Theora-related "there's only so far you can get by putting rockets on a pig" comment made me chuckle.
I ran another compilation and really basic encoding test with Daala, and it has gotten substantially better since I last tested it several months ago: I can confirm that the claim in the article of artifacts looking grainy or noisy rather than blurry is true. When the ratecontrol and other accuracy and psy features are introduced, then this will be much more interesting - as it stands right now, you can have a 6000kbps stream generated by -v 10 and it still shows the grainy artifacts (although there is a very noticeable improvement going from -v 20, resulting in 3450kbps, to -v 10 @ 6000kbps).
