	Weird-- I was just thinking the other day about whether or not On2 was 
going to release a VP7 codec. I wonder if this will be more H.264-like. 
We already know that VP5 and VP6 are still based on an 8x8 IDCT. And 
whatever happened with that Chinese EVD that is supposed to use VP6?

	Hmm, one of their marketing points in their whitepaper is "less code", 
IOW, it takes less code to implement VP7 than, say, H.264. That's 
encouraging.

	Roberto, Diego: Can you get the samples (the high-quality 700K samples, 
most likely) archived in samples/V-codecs/VP7, please?

	Anyway, thanks for the intelligence.
