VP3 could be a DivX killer?
VP3 is a video compression technique, which is just published Open Source. It's used by RealNetworks and Apple. On2 has given codec's licences to OGG team for free.
In my own tests the codec's quality seems to be almost DivX quality with settings "High Detail", "Lowest allowed quality:16" and "Quick Compress" disabled.
Please add to this forum results of your own experiments, it would be interesting to know if this patent free codec could beat MPEG-4 based codecs (for ex. DivX, Xvid), especially when XviD's (official) development is halted because of copyright disagreements.
