Hi all, Sorry for the VP8 question on the Theora list, but I think all the relevant people are here :) I'm using Icecast to distribute some Ogg Theora streams at the moment with a view to adding VP8 along side these in future. Ideally I'd just use Ogg VP8+Vorbis, I know there is a mapping for this already but how much support from the browsers can I expect for this configuration? -Phil

Our Ogg support for chained streams isn't very good at the moment so existing Icecast support in Firefox is not as good as I'd like it to be. There are bugs raised to to address that however.

Hi, I'm little newbie, but it seems to me that coming of WebM project makes quite useless the developing of theora codec. I mean, the aim of theora is to provide a good, free of patents codec for streaming compression for the new coming HTML5 video tag. Now there is this WebM supported by google, intel, firefox and mozilla that promises to do exactly the same thing. So, tell me, please, why the world still needs theora? thanks for answer ale ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!

BTW new Divx v7 is h.264 with MKV container. So why bother to choose Divx or QuickTime? If you love h.264 just use X.264 in your container of choice... Pay the money. Myself, I choose Theora and WebM. Theora in the Ogg container is awesome and I am looking forward to using WebM when it is mature. For videography I plan on VP8, Theora or Driac Pro on the Apertus hardware. Nothing like Freedom.
