   Are VP5 and VP6 codecs developed by On2, which have been used in 
Flash  as well as elsewhere?

   Could I trouble you to give a quick rundown on this?  I took a look 
around the Internet to try and find some information on the various M$

the number systems used by M$ codecs and file formats just not make much 
sense?
