First, an introduction: I work in a group that makes educational software. In the coming months, we're planning to release our entire Mac/Windows runtime under the GPL. We currently encode our audio with MP3 and our video with VP3. For playback, we rely on QuickTime 5 on MacOS and Windows. In the short run, we'd like to help maintain the VP3 QuickTime codecs, preferably without forking the VP3 code base. Would the Ogg Theora project object to receiving patches for non-Theora portions of VP3? In the long run, we're extremely interested in Ogg Theora itself. We need a reliable streaming media architecture, and QuickTime 6 has been causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth lately. What kind of help could the Ogg Theora project use? Thank you for your time, and for all your work on open source media architectures!

Hi, guys. I was working with the VP3 code, planning to integrate it with Ogg for a self-contained solution for video playback, platform independant, no installation required, no QT, no AVI runtimes. My main interest is CD-based work using local files and portability/performance, not really into streaming or anything fancy (network error correction, prediction, etc.) Not sure if Theora will cater for my needs or if I should continue with my current development plans... Or even consider licensing something from On2 (we evaluated Bink at a time, but it has some compatibility issues.) Any thoughts? Dan? Count me in if you need help with tools for this project, I have some experience in software development for Windows/Mac/MacOSX (no Linux, though... have to learn it) Regards, Mauricio Piacentini Tabuleiro <p>--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ Ogg project homepage: http://www.xiph.org/ogg/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'theora-dev-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
