any1 tried this ??????
how is the result ?

I'm unable to find a single independent review of the codec, or even an opinion outside On2's press releases.

I'd say it's still in development to be honest.

I wrote in the introduction to my codec comparison that I asked for a review copy and they didn't even bother to answer my mail. Maybe my site is too small but at least a reply staying no would have been nice.

There a bunch of chumps and there codec is nothing special!
They are scared to let it get reviewed! :devil:

Doom9 when you do this compare/write up can you also talk about the future of the codecs you used, and tell how much longer they might be used? And what you see people using in these codecs place.
I fear change...... even though I know it can be good.
And the grape vine keeps saying things are gonna change.

Thanks Doom9!

I see Divx5 and Xvid becoming the standard in the near-future. Divx4 is pretty much as good as Nandub right now, so any improvement they make in 5 is going to push it up the quality scale. Xvid is open-source and, right now at least, has some real smart dedicated people working on it. I think that as Divx5 becomes more commercial (since that is what DivxNetworks is pushing for), it is going to become more oriented on DRM and streaming and less on feature encoding, which means Xvid is going to surpass it, at least for high-bitrate stuff. I see Corona (WM9?) become the de facto streaming format just because Microsoft wins pretty much every market it puts its mind to (except the console market, but Sony is probably the only company besides AOL Time Warner that can rival Microsoft). I see VP4 dying, if it ever gets released, because it is already so far behind that it is never going to attract the attention from the fringe (i.e., us.).
Oh yeah, and MPEG2 DVDs are going to stick around for quite some time. With the same lousy copy-protection. heheh, stupid MPAA.
