Description for VP3
VP3 is the world's most efficient, open source video codec to date. With VP3, there are no platform limitations and developers are not required to pay the restrictive license fees that other open source codecs make mandatory.
Unlike other open source, or standards based video codecs, VP3 allows for the highest quality video, at the lowest possible data rates while still retaining the video's full frame-rate. The result is a clear 320x240 video that can be expanded to a full-screen 640x480 resolution. The power of this codec has been validated by the fact that it has been licensed by both RealNetworks and Apple for their internet video players.
