quick low-bitrate test

[*.mp4 guy]

Some people have been saying that vp7 doesn't look very good. I wasn't sure myself wheather it was a good codec or not, so I made this quick comparison. please vote for the one that you think looks best.

vp7 (http://x1.putfile.com/videos/6720512688.avi)
Xvid1.1 (http://x1.putfile.com/videos/6720573414.avi)
x264(158) (http://x1.putfile.com/videos/6721054844.avi)

rest assured that I used the best possible settings I am aware of for each codec.
