On2 Releases VP6 video codec

Posted by Hemos on from the looking-pretty dept.

A reader writes:"On2 Technologies, the folks who brought you the open-source VP3 video codec (now managed by Theora.org), have released our latest codec, VP6. Highlights include hi-def support with no encoder restrictions, real-time encoding at full D1 resolution, and substantial performance & quality improvements over VP5. Best of all: no "patent pooling" restrictions or external licensing fees, a la MPEG-4."

    Should use preview more often.

    Those codecs can be found here.

    Where can I download a demo version of this encoder to test for myself the truth of On2 claims? Online samples provide a basis of little strength for proper codec comparison.
    These samples are tailored for perfect compatibility with the encoder, not for proper benchmarking.
