<p>Xtronics: /* Status */</p> <hr /> <div>== About ==<br /> <br /> Theora is our video codec, based on the VP3 codec donated by [[On2 Technologies]]. We've refined and extended it, giving it the same future scope for encoder improvement [[Vorbis]] has. See http://theora.org/ for more information.<br /> <br /> == Status ==<br /> <br /> Alpha 4 is the latest release. The bitstream format is frozen. Every file created with the alpha 3 encoder (and, of course, later encoders) will be playable with future decoders. Beta 1 will be the next release.<br /> <br /> <br /> It would be nice if somewhere it could be explained if Theora is a format appropriate for editing video - such formats would not do frame to frame compression and the file size and processor load would be smaller. On the other hand a distribution format would want to pack in a lot of compression which would mean using frame to for compression.<br /> <br /> == Development ==<br /> <br /> * [[Theora:Beta1ToDo|Todo for Beta1]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [http://www.theora.org Theora homepage]<br /> * [http://www.annodex.net/software/theora/ Theora documentation daily builds]<br /> * [http://www.vp3.com VP3 homepage]: The homepage of the codec Theora is based on<br /> * [http://www.on2.com On2 Technologies]: The creators of VP3</div>
