you forgot the:
Sonic HD H264 high profile codec (already in limited use)
Envivio, Inc H264
DiviCom MV 100 (Harmonic)
but looks great --"Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems." - Rene Descartes (1596-1650) -
I thought this link:
http://www.balooga.com/mpeg4.php3
about "A comparison of the encoding efficiencies of the MPEG2, MPEG4-2 and h.264 / MPEG4-10 (MPEG4 part 10) video compression algorithms"
might be of interest.
And possibly IBM's MPEG4-codecs:

wavelet compression like quVis quBit D-Cinema compression would be interesting compare against H264 , I have used it a lot for d-cinema server compression."Each problem that I solved became a rule which served afterwards to solve other problems." - Rene Descartes (1596-1650) -
IBM research website is a bit old on mpeg2 and mpeg4 projects:

We plan special testing for non standard codecs, but I cannot point to date.With regards
