similar to: MPEG-LA answers some questions about AVC/H.264 licensing

Our discussion in the "Theora Camcorder" thread has been great, but I didn't see a direction evolve for action yet. So, I'd like to propose the creation of a community website that will be focused specifically on this kind of thing, partnered with the Xiph Foundation. I'm also more than happy to host said website, as I have more than ample server capacity for that. I just

In the discussion of having a freedom-friendly camcorder or other video device, we discussed the idea of using intra-only Theora video to make post-recording editing a much easier process, allowing things like frame-by-frame editing without the need to decode and reencode the video again, thus incurring loss. I was quite skeptical of the efficiency of intra-only Theora, and I had speculated that

Hey all! I'm sure you've all been missing my webcam stream, so I decided to start it up again (also, I wanted to do it for my family overseas). However, this time, I'm doing things a little bit differently. For starters, the encoder is the current (as of about an hour ago) ptalarbvorm branch which is destined to become libtheora 1.2. Another difference is that I'm using

Hi there, I was wondering if someone closer to the work happening in the Ptalarbvorm branch could be so kind as to provide a little update on progress? I've heard tidbits from around the web that the improvement over 1.1 is at least as much as 1.1 was itself over 1.0. I know that myself and many others found Monty's occasional updates on Thusnedla development to be absolutely fascinating

Hello, Ok, and that's too many work to review a source code.In my codec, I have 3 compression schemes, I think 2 are not patented, but the third... I don't know.For the rest, I think my codec is patent-free (I don't use SPIHT,EZW,zerotree methods), even the wavelet transform is new and don't use the lifting scheme nor the convolution product. Else, if you found time to review the

"Google will soon make its VP8 video codec open source, we?ve learned from multiple sources. The company is scheduled to officially announce the release at its Google I/O developers conference next month, a source with knowledge of the announcement said. And with that release, Mozilla ? maker of the Firefox browser ? and Google Chrome are expected to also announce support for HTML5 video

Hello, Yes, that's right.I still think that it would have more weight if I could claim that Xiph has reviewed the source code and find that the NHW codec is royalty/patent-free (better than me alone claiming this...).Maybe it was in this sense that Ralph Giles answered me?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone! My name is Basil Mohamed Gohar, and I'm an avid free software user & advocate. I've been using Theora for years as I strongly believe there is an urgent need for free-as-in-freedom multimedia codecs. The recent improvements in Thusnelda encoder have encouraged me to become more actively involved, so I've joined both

Hey Theorans, Yesterday and today I decided to try out broadcasting a video stream using Theora from my computer's built-in webcam. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, while maintaining a rate of less than 150kbps, the stream was of quite a suitable quality sending 640x480 video at 15 frames per second. For now, this is video only, by the way, I did not include any audio in the stream

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

Yeah, the app will probably only be for viewing statistics and other Icecast data - and not for "managing" or modifying the server since it isn't possible from the Web interface. Any suggestions for what Icecast data the app should display? On Sun, Oct 6, 2013 at 2:29 AM, Basil Mohamed Gohar < basilgohar at librevideo.org> wrote: > On 10/05/2013 04:26 PM, Elad Nava

Hey all, I've setup a simple page that just displays a live webcam stream of me at work, and it supposedly falls back onto Cortado if your browser doesn't support the <video> tag. The URL is here: http://media.basilgohar.com/stream/ There's been a lot of talk about live streaming and low bitrate streams. Here is my command line (I've posted this before): time ffmpeg -f

Patenting a mathematical formula is NOT creating a machine nor is it unique. For example. 2+2=4... apples + apples^2= given outcome. I want to patent this. It's stupid to patent something like that. The same is true for formula algorithms. Algorithms occur in nature. Thus should not be patented. Now, Volley G Mathison inventor of the Electropsychometer had a machine that he could patent. A
