Ogg Theora Alpha 2 Released

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-like-ogg-but-for-video-dude dept.

An anonymouse reader writes "After almost seven months, another alpha release of Ogg Theora is finally out. Still not production ready, but it's certainly showing some progress." The world needs a free video codec. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes.

  1. Meaning of 'Free' by bitterrob · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What is 'free' these days ?? Free to one person might be 'Heck, I downloaded my copy of X, so its free' This however, could be in breach of some copyright/patent on the software, and the owner has lost money from this. In an increasing climate of software 'piracy', a completely new user could start downloading whatever 'free' software they wanted to get. Just a random thought.... it's ok I don't do it often.
