The Google codec could soon be used for streaming 4K videos on YouTube; the company is currently testing it against the H.265 codec.
The compressed footage available to download is in 4K resolution. Hollander wanted to test what quality could be achieved in 4K at 15 Mbits/s using the VP9 codec. The clip is two minutes long and 200 MB in size.
The clips were shot fairly calmly, making it difficult to assess quality in extreme situations based on the material.
You can download the material here.
Phil Hollander also says in his thread that he found test material at 9 Mbits/s impressive and would like to make that available soon as well.
