similar to: Theora, great stuff!

I've started working on a pure-java port of Theora under the LGPL, as a subproject of FMJ, the open-source implementation of JMF. It is similar to and dependent on the jogg/jorbis libraries from jcraft. The Cortado implementation is nice, but since it is GPL, that is too restrictive for FMJ, which is LGPL. This is, naturally, a large undertaking, and any help by anyone interested would

Hi guys, the SUPER codec by Erightsoft http://www.erightsoft.net/SUPER.html contains lots of GPL and LGPL code: mplayer, ffmpeg, x264, musepack, theora, which they admit and give credit for. Still, their product is proprietary, and they insist on it. I tried to get the source through their forum, but they of course won't give it: http://www.erightsoft.net/Supforum.html I'll forward

(Cross posted to theora-dev@xiph.org and ffmpeg-devel@mplayerhq.hu) I am working towards adding Theora encoding support to libavcodec in FFmpeg. I am doing this by simply calling libtheora from libavcodec. I am at the point where I can execute: "./ffmpeg -v 100 -i test.wmv -f avi -an -vcodec theora -b 1000000 -y test.avi" I get some whirring and an output file written. My calls to

Theora is a video codec with a small CPU footprint that offers easy portability and requires no patent royalties. While the Theora bitstream format was standardized in 2004 and our beta releases have been used by millions, this 1.0 release is an important milestone reflecting the maturity and stability of the Theora codebase. A number of leading multimedia web groups already support Theora.

Hello, I am new to Cortado and I am very interested in playing video in some of my Java applets using the Theora decoder. I would like to write a LGPL library to use the decoders in Processing (see processing.org). I prefer LGPL over GPL because it allows a wider usage of the library. The core libraries of Processing are released under LGPL as well. I would like to use com.fluendo.plugin and

Hi there, I have an elementary question. Although theora can be placed in the same class of codecs as MPEG-1, -2, -4 why is there no greater usage of this codec? On the bigger part of web sites trailers or short videos are encoded with some mpeg codec. Why is theora still so rarely used and unfamiliar although it perfomes very well from my point of view? Is it, because - the whole mpeg family is

Are there any thoughts to changing the license used by Vorbis from the GPL to the LGPL? As it stands, linking to libvorbis will taint any program. I'd like to research using Vorbis and contribute to it, but I'm not at the liberty to GPL the engine I'd like to link with libvorbis. The GPL prevents me from using it. The LGPL would still protect the Vorbis code while allowing

Hi, I was just reading on Adobe Flash<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash>and the components which make it up: SWF, ActionScript, and FLV. >From what I've read, SVG is competing with SWF as the format of vector graphics in web design, while ActionScript is an ECMAScript like JavaScript. Hence, SVG + Javascript can provide an interactive, animated, open, non-proprietary web

Hi all, I would like to bring your attention to our game "Scratches" that we're developing which is using the Theora codec. We found the video quality to be great with very small files. You can see the results for yourself in this short demo (45MB) we released a few months ago: http://www.nucleosys.com/files/scratches-t2.exe http://www.cellarofrats.com/pubftp/scratches-t2.exe

I just finished using my mother's PC which is running Windows XP. I downloaded & installed, or already had installed, the latest versions of VLC Media Player (1.0.5), Media Player Classic - Home Theater (last release was in August 2009), Miro (already installed), Mozilla Firefox (3.6), Google Chrome (latest from website today), Opera (10.50 Alpha, latest build from the website), and

hi,all: I come here to consult that whether FFmpeg could be replaced with Theora in our project. Here the thing. Our project, Bluesky( http://incubator.apache.org/projects/bluesky.html) is podling in Apache incubation. However, core function of our system, the encode/decode part which implemented by FFmpeg(GPL licensed)(we mainly use libavcodec and libavformat library), conflicts with Apache

I'm pleased to announce the official freeze of the theora 1.0 bitstream format. We wanted to reserve the right to change things if we discovered any issues during the documentation documentation phase. We haven't, so there's no reason to delay adoption any further. The files produced by the alpha-3 encoder constitute the baseline of the theora I format and will be supported by

Does the reason Theora is relatively safe from patent infringement lawsuit have more to do with it actually not being encumbered, or is it because its use is decentralized? For example, FreeType is not patent-free, nor is Linux, yet they succeed because on the one hand, they are open source, and those who maintain them do not guarantee anything regarding patents, it is up to each individual user

We spent a little time here taking a look at the Vorbis licensing scheme and ran into some possible issues. In particular, the Vorbis FAQ page here says that the LGPL license applies to Vorbis libraries and GPL applies to source code (at least that's what I gather). http://www.vorbis.com/faq.html#flic http://www.fsf.org/copyleft/lesser.html Reading the text of these Gnu

I would like to find a portable device to watch Theora-encoded videos while commuting on the bus to/from work. In a perfect world it would be similiar in size to the iPhone or some such other device (i.e., not so big that I can't shove it into my pocket when done.) I have been searching on and off for a couple of days now with no success. I can find lots of things for Vorbis. When I turn my
