Samples archived: all the highband ones and all the Harry Potter
samples. While doing it i had a look at the vp6 samples, there are some
trailers available in both formats.
I haven't watched the videos (so length or video size may differ), but
the VP6 files are smaller :)

Anyway, the licence for the 10-days trial codec contains this text:

You may NOT: 
4.publish or provide any results of tests, including without limitation
benchmark tests, run on the Software to any third party without On2's
prior written consent

Hey, our benchmarks says that we have the best codec, just trust us and
don't even think about publishing yours :)
Not very reassuring about the "the world's best video compressor"
(quoted from VP7 page)...

Ciao,
 Roberto
