Daala

Daala is the code-name for a new video compression technology.

The effort is a collaboration between Mozilla Foundation, Xiph.Org Foundation and other contributors.

The goal of the project is to provide a free-to-implement, -use and -distribute digital media format and reference implementation with technical performance superior to H.265.
