Theora is a video codec being developed by the Xiph.org Foundation as
part of their Ogg project. Based upon On2 Technologies' VP3 codec, and
christened by On2 as the successor in VP3's lineage, Theora is targeted
at competing with MPEG-4 video (e.g., H.264, XviD and DivX), RealVideo,
Windows Media Video, and similar lower-bitrate video compression schemes. |
