As of Chrome v48, VP9 is now supported in WebRTC:

Microsoft edge supports H264 and at some point will support VP9:

Firefox already supports both VP8 and H264 so soon most browsers will have a choice of encoders.

How to I specify the encoding format using MediaStreamRecorder? I have tried to work it out but can only record VP8 video...

You can set codecs in the mimeType:

recorder.mimeType = 'video/webm; codecs="vorbis,vp9"';

Regarding H264, please find relevant values:
