Status: '''1.0''' was released on 2008-11-03.

Future:

= libtheora reference implementation =

== Theora 1.1 ==

* Improve [http://svn.xiph.org/branches/theora-thusnelda/ theora-thusnelda] an make it the reference implementation: see [http://web.mit.edu/xiphmont/Public/theora/demo.html Theora "the push for 1.0" update] and [http://web.mit.edu/xiphmont/Public/theora/demo2.html Theora: The push for 1.0, Thusnelda project update 20080320]: xiphmont articles on theora future (actually, this will be in libtheora 1.1 not 1.0)
* complete Ogg mapping description in the spec
* update RTP mapping spec

<del>According to the [http://xiph.org/minutes/2008/theora-meet-20080401.txt 2008-04-01 Theora meeting] ''the '1.0' part (the theora-thusnelda trunk) is to be complete in a month or two I hope''.</del>

== Theora II ==
* Needed ? Goals ? Space for Theora II besides Theora 1.0 and 1.1 and Dirac ?
* see [http://web.mit.edu/xiphmont/Public/theora/demo2.html Theora: The push for 1.0, Thusnelda project update 20080320] ('''beyond 1.0 spec''' section) and [http://web.mit.edu/xiphmont/Public/theora/demo.html Theora "the push for 1.0" update]: xiphmont articles on theora future

<del>According to the [http://xiph.org/minutes/2008/theora-meet-20080401.txt 2008-04-01 Theora meeting] ''that's on the six-month timeframe''.</del>

= Application Support =

* update binaries of [http://xiph.org/quicktime/ XiphQT] and [http://illiminable.com/ogg/ Directshow Filters] (includig fix for bug [https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1301 1301])
* update and fix FFMPEG2THEORA (see [https://trac.xiph.org/report/22 Trac])

== Easy Transcoding on Windows ==

It's difficult for some people to create theora files outside the command line. We need a simple tool that does drag-and-drop transcoding, with a gui for metadata and license marking, and some simple cleanup like crop/scale/rotate and color adjustment. This could be just a wrapper around ffmpeg2theora.

Albeit technically it would be possible (and simple) to do GUI wrapper for ffmpeg2theora it may be wiser to write a completely new application which uses DirectShow to decode the given media file. This way the encoder wouldn't have to ship with evil patented decoders and still can transcode any source the computer can play in e.g. Windows Media Player. - [[User:Maikmerten|Maikmerten]] 12:06, 30 July 2007 (PDT)

== Quicktime export ==

It is important that content creators be able to easily create theora videos.

* write a stand-alone output encoder plugin that does best-practices export
* do a gui transcode tool, a little like ffmpeg2theora, but pulling from the native quicktime decoders and writing out theora + vorbis/speex. Must have a drag and drop interface with sensible quality presets, metadata insertion. Bonus points for integrated stream sourcing and [http://wiki.creativecommons.org/CcPublisher upload] to various free sharing sites with appropriate CC licensing.

= Misc / publicity =

* Prove wrong / obsolete all those [http://lwn.net/Articles/261694/ 1], [http://web.mit.edu/xiphmont/Public/theora/demo.html 2] "Theora is crap" claims
