VP7 Personal Edition

The developers of On2 technologies have really gone above and beyond with this codec, adding major improvements to the old VP6. If you usually use programs like, for example, virtualdub, this is the codec that can totally eclipse H264. Some features, like real time compression, excellent noise reduction, smoother motion, and superior high-definition, really make it stand head and shoulders above other codecs, and able to go head to head with H264. This latest version also supports Video for Windows (VFW) and Direct Show.
