That is because it is not a very common container. That way even the Real & Quick Time codecs are excellent but they are not common containers and there are very few programs which encode/transcode video to these containers.

hey maverick just wanna know that are there any VP7 compatible players available in the market

also vp7 is not very good for sports videos like wrestling coz it even shows the audience which is unnecessory can u tell any settings to compress these types like wmv9 which does it very well

Can't believe all these norons think xvid is the best ! grow up guyz

Well .. I dont get it ... why is that a bad thing ... if it also shows the main details as well as other codecs and also shows the audience properly, its an amazing thing ... that shows how efficient it is ... :D

N well i have no clue if there is a VP7 compatible player .. even il have to chk it out on the net :rolleyes:

but wmv9 compresses wrestling videos very well like almost 1.2mBpm it's a waste to see those ppl in the background.

i need that it should be bitrate based compression like in other codecs.

On2 is a small company, and it is doing really well with VP62 & VP70 ... so it makes more business sense for them to concentrate in an area where they r making good inroads rather that something new ...

This is how the market is ...

Audio:
MP3 dominates ... WMA is doing well for Microsoft ... after the iPod came in with iTunes and m4a using AAC, things r pretty saturated ....

Video: There wasnt anything much other than MPEG4 & MPEG4 derivatives, and real & QT (which were both AVCs (MPEG4 part10) .... n these codecs werent being used much commercially as in licensed n all ...

Then On2, hits the jackpot with VP62 being used in game videos, the Flash video, skype, etc. ....

Now we have HD coming up ... HD is the next big thing & HD over the net is even bigger n a big challenge for everybody .... now On2 is teaming up with abc and r planning to deliver HD over the web using a highly optimized VP70 variant ... n this is gonna be big ...

On2 r primarily a video codec company n have been developing VPXX codecs from the past decade ... it makes more sense for them to continue doing that ... especially when they r making inroads n becoming industry leaders n getting the recognition they deserve!!!

i have a problem regarding dark scenes using vp62/vp7 both of them cut out huge detail when used in darker scenes even keeping the bitrate to 300 doesn't work

300 is low anywaz ... try setting the decompression format in Virtual Dub to YUY2 (Input & Output) ... ul find these seetings in Video\Color Depth ... it also depends on the quality of the input video!

one more prob. whenever i convert youtube vids to vp62/vp7 using ur recommended settings at some places the video gets stuck(a little decrease in fps) although i use VBR.

also are youtube vids really in vp62 coz some players identify it as h.263 and is the audio really 8kbps mono coz i have a video which has stereo in it.and how does the audio play fine even though it has such low bitrate and most converters allow for only 16kbps but the result totally sucks.plz explain:(

what s/w do u use to convert YouTube vids? ... n yes they r VP62 ... FLV1 ... there are some versions of FLV too ... its called the flash sorenson codec ... n i havnt yet seen 8kbos mono in youtube yet .. i normally see 64kbps mono @ 22KHz ... n that is fine ... WMA Voice which use 4kbps @ 8Khz also sounds good for speech ...
