Theora (Ogg Video) Reaches First Milestone

Posted by timothy on from the two-to-go dept.

strmcrw writes "Today Theora (maintained by the Xiph.org Foundation) releases their first of three planned Milestones. Theora will be a video codec that builds upon On2's VP3 codec and is going to be integrated in the Ogg multimedia container. The code is under a BSD style license, for the legal terms on the usage of the VP3 codec, please check out their CVS page."

    Wow, I must have timetraveled or something. Today is September 25! Maybe I can pass that Calc test now!

    Seriously though, this is kind of neat. It will be interesting to see how this works out. For all who want to know without reading, the mile stones are:

    1. Alpha release
    2. Release that does realtime 3D interpolation
    3. Release that can tell you which movie you're most likely to hate but watch anyway.

    OK, so maybe they don't tell what the 2nd and 3rd milestones are on the front page.
