        Err, probably the latter. First, there was a video codec, VP3.0,
with the fourcc 'VP30'. Eventually, the codec was modified and improved to
be VP3.1 wth the fourcc 'VP31'. That is the version they released as open
source well over a year ago. There are other versions (VP32, VP40, and
VP50, I believe).

        What about VP10 and VP20? Not positive, but I suspect that On2
(formerly Duck) decided that the Duck Truemotion codecs were numbers 1 and
2 and start VP at #3.

        Hope this helps...
