VP6 is definitely much better than mpeg4, at least on low bitrates.
Download encoder from their site, try to encode, say, 400kbps video in
640x480, compare it with lavc's encoded mpeg4 and be amazed. Decoder has
also built-in intellegent postprocessing, for example it adds noise on
very low bitrate streams to improve visual quality and so on.
