I appreciated the link to http://www.techimo.com/articles/index.pl?photo=33&SID=12&tag=SNnb323 although, as Freun said, it was "Not really all that informative,..." Is anyone aware of a site that has a downloadable video clip that was created for comparison purposes with different video codecs (MPEG 1, 2, 4, divx, Windows, Real, VP3, VP4, VP5, and so on)? Preferably, each

a couple points before I look at this too hard: "For VP3, since you can't do a constant quality encode" what? that should not be the case. Could be a QT-specific bug. Theora at any rate is certainly capable of doing constant-quality encode. This probably explains your standard deviation complaint -- VP3 is running a rate control alg, where the other codecs are just shooting for

Hi all, It's been a few years since I encoded a number of movies using the VP3 codec (v3.2) on my Quicksilver PPC. Now I have a new Intel mac and I'd like to play them. However, it seems that the codec offered on On2's website is only for the PPC architecture. Does anyone know a workaround or some other codec that works on the MacIntel platform? I'm using Quicktime Pro 7.

How good is the video compression in vp3.2? For example, how does it compare (bit rate & quality) to mpeg1, mpeg2, Divx, real Video 8+, Windows Media, etc. etc. It being open source is nice and all, but if it can't be reasonably competitive then there isn't much point to it. I just haven't seen anything that compares vp32 to anything else. (Although to be honest, I haven't

Hullo, When people ask me what Vorbis's license terms are, I usually tell them that the bitstream format is in the public domain, that the reference libraries are licensed under a BSD-like license, and that the example programs are licensed under the GNU GPL. (Note the distinction between filespec and implementation here.) Meanwhile, Theora.org's FAQ doesn't say anything about the

Hi, I have been working with VP3 for some time now. Dan Miller from On2 just told me about this list. A few months ago, I managed to get On2's VP3 source snapshot to compile under Linux, a feat that many have apparently attempted and quickly abandoned. I compiled a small console app and the results of the experiment are explained here:

Hi, Since a number of people are eager to try out the native VP3 decoder in xine, I have made a patch available, bz2-compressed: http://www.pcisys.net/~melanson/codecs/xine-vp3-decoder-patch.bz2 To work with this patch: 1) Get the latest xine-lib from CVS. Visit this page for more details: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=9655 The module name is xine-lib, but you will also need

Hi, A few questions: Is libtheora strictly backward compatible with VP3? Can I set it up to shove raw VP3 data through and trust it to decode the same way as On2's open source code did, loop filters and all? Also, is libtheora just supposed to be a C-based reference implementation? I was looking through the code and noticed a distinct lack of any kind of optimizations. Naive tree-based

The new 3.2.6.1 codecs work great with QuickTime 6 (thank you!), but there's no way for an application to identify them. And since the older 3.2.1.x and 3.2.2.x installers will actually *downgrade* the installed version of VP3, it would be nice if an application could warn the user. The attached patch increments kdxlqt_CodecVersion (and documents all the Component Manager arcana involved).

FYI, Google is acquiring On2: <http://www.betanews.com/article/Future-of-open-Web-video-may-change-with-Google-acquisition-of-On2/1249481107> Also on Slashdot: <http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/08/05/1742249> Anyone knows what, if anything, this means for Theora, open video and/or the Xiph.Org Foundation? Wild speculation: considering that they complained about the

Hello Theora developers, I'm doing some cursory research into Theora's IP status in preparation for asking Apple to reconsider the possibility of shipping an implementation. I have a few questions and I'm hoping knowledgeable people can help out. 1) What are the terms of any patent licenses or disclaimers, and do they have field of use restrictions or limitations on code for

Yes, the Theora codec is based on VP3, which is an earlier version of ON2's VP6 codec. Theora is currently at its alpha 3 release, and is stable enough to have been used already for streaming live video from a number of conferences, and for encoding several videos that can be found at www.theora.org. Development has progressed to the point that the value of the codec can be seen. That

The list probably did not get this reply from D Richard Felker III. Having read quite a few patents I tend to agree with Richard: Software patents are very broad and even if I have not read the source code of Theora I would be surprised if it did not infringe several patents. However, I believe the argument that On2 has not been sued for infringing the MPEG-patents is a very strong argument.

Are we interested, or ready for this?
