theora dev - Jun 2007 - Video codec for narrow bandwidth streaming

hi,
i am a university student and completely new for the video codec technology.
we have decided to develop a video codec that is specially focus for narrow
bandwidth video streaming (provide video streaming experience for GPRS,
etc).

so i want to have some idea about

how a video codec is related with streaming application...?

have there any codec developed for these type of requirement, by your
organization or any other developer...?

also i want to study theora codec. so that I want to know what should be the
starting point for that..?

other than the documents provided on the website, are there any other design
documentations like flow chart diagrams,  class diagrems, etc, and can i
have those..?


thank you

Outside of the specification available on the website, there are no
other design documents. Feel free to contribute flow charts or block
diagrams you think would aid in understanding the codec, and we can
include them in that specification. Also, besides the API documentation
of the current reference implementation, there's also API documentation
available for my experimental implementation:

There are no class diagrams since Theora is not implemented in C++.
