If you're supposed to watch the video with a particular filter, it makes sense to compare with it. If they didn't want it on by default, they wouldn't have put it on by default. Or do you want me to add skiploopfilter to the H.264 decoding options? There are plenty of formats that you're not supposed to watch without a filter; comparing with settings that you would never actually use for viewing is a completely useless test.

And yet last time I looked the version of VP7 on On2's site is still 5 years old. Is a company truly "serious" if they abandon the product they release and never release any update, even a publicly available decoder? Perhaps they might have had some truth to their marketing 5 years ago, when H.264 was brand new and the implementations awful, but it has been 5 years and VP7 now sucks, regardless of its original status.

How can you not laugh at such absurdity?
