Theora Codec Ported to Java

Posted by michael on from the netflicks dept.

fons writes "These guys have ported the Theora codec to Java. This means that ANY Java-capable browser can now be used to watch video streams on the net (clients don't have to download a player!). You can watch a demo showing some boring guys sitting in the office. At least the music is ok :) On their site you can find a link to an interesting interview with the boss, and it looks like more cool stuff is coming soon."

    Hey Sunshine, why so bitter? Did your mother neglect you when you were a baby? Did the brainy Jewish kids make you feel stupid in grade school? Feeling insecure about your sexuality?

    Not to worry. People like you tend to live very short lives. Soon you will be out of your misery. BTW, you missed fp; some Jew probably got it.

  3. Firefox crashed! :( by iso · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It seems to crash Firefox every time I try to play this. Firefox 0.9.3, Debian Sarge (testing). about:plugins shows Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.2_04-b05 (from Sun).

    It's really frustrating that Java is so touchy on Linux, and so poorly supported on Debian. I would like to see this demo! I know this is OT, but does anybody have any hints on how I might make Firefox play this without crashing?

    Gozer the Traveller will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldronaii the Traveller came as a very large and moving Torb. Then of course in the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants they chose a new form for him, that of a Sloar. Many Shubs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Sloar that day I can tell you.

    Lets be honest; no matter how you look at it, God hates Jews. Come on, He's been killing you off for centuries. Jews arn't the Chosen People, they're the Chosen For Removal People.
