@bharat..where do you get vp7 codes files?
then has someone tried it with wine ?

VP7 betters H.264, but due to the existance of x264, an encoder thats cross platform and developed by the VideoLAN team, VP7 decoding doesn't get a high enough priority from them.

But a decoder is underway in FFMPEG(and concequently VLC) and will be released as soon as possible. But an encoder is a long way off.

PS: a non native Win32 dll which can be loaded to MPlayer and Xine is available, but its not fast.
