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."

    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!).

    I've been able to do this with my "Flash-Capable" browser for some time now....I guess its true that Java is playing catchup....no wonder noone uses it anymore(java applets)....seriously though...most people either use activex or flash....noone uses java applets....only instance i've seen java applets use is for some games and irc....

    Dumbass, it was a replacement for the link in my previous post. It is linked as an example of abusive code. Thanks for the downmods, idiots.
