Hi, I have some suggestions for Theora:1) Theora should have a feature like adobe flash does that enables direct end user to end user peering which decreases a server's bandwidth usage and cost. Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Time_Media_Flow_Protocol Theora should go one step further and support file sharing. 2) Theora should have a plugin for the safari web browser that runs on the Apple iPhone/iPhone3G/iPhone3GS and the iPod Touch 1st and 2nd generation. The operating systems on all of these are the same and I think it's a type of?Mac O/S. 3) Theora should have a feature that disables print screen and video recording software from capturing Theora videos. Alot of webmasters have their videos stolen by people using printscreen and video capture software, so Theora should have a feature where when a person pushes the Printscreen key on their keyboard, and pastes the image, the image will just be a white blank box. When a person uses a video capture software and tries to record a video playing in the Theora player, it will just be a blank white box. Everything else on the screen be will captured, except the Theora player. This will solve alot of copyright problems webmasters have with their videos. 4) Theora should have a feature where when a user plays a video using the Theora player, the video will be compressed so the file size is smaller and it will be faster to load. The quality of the video should remain the same. For example, some 2 hour 16:9 Widescreen?High definition 1080p videos are 4Gigabytes in size, so Theora should compress this 4GB video?into 100MB without losing any quality. 5) Theora should be integrated into the next version of Internet Explorer for Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7. Can someone pass my suggestions onto the Theora developers? Thanks -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!

Mind you it is a good idea. I think if somebody points a camera at the screen, theora should realise the camera is there and refuse to play back any more. What do you think about that ?> 4) Theora should have a feature where when a user plays a video using the > Theora player, the video will be compressed so the file size is smaller and > it will be faster to load.

However, I think the compression should be done in two stages. The first stage would compress losslessly from 4 GB to 100MB ( a 40 to 1 reduction). Then (here is the clever bit !), you pass the 100MB file back through the lossless compressor. At 40 to 1 compression you would end up with a 2.5MB file ! For a 2 hour 16:9 widescreen movie ! (I guess you could pass it through a third time and end up with a 62KB file, but that would just be silly.)> 5) Theora should be integrated into the next version of Internet Explorer > for Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7. >I thought it was already. Perhaps you could ask Bill Gates or Steve Balmer to check ? Salsaman.
