The Xiph.org Foundation's libtheora 1.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** What is Theora?
Theora is Xiph.Org's first publicly released video codec, intended
for use within the Foundation's Ogg multimedia streaming system.
Theora is derived directly from On2's VP3 codec, adds new features
while allow it a longer useful lifetime as an competitive codec.
The 1.0 release decoder supported all the new features, but the
encoder is nearly identical to the VP3 code.
The 1.1 release features a completely rewritten encoder, offering
better performance and compression, and making more complete use
of the format's feature set. Files produced by both encoders can
be decoded by either release.
*** Where is Theora?
Theora's main site is www.theora.org. Theora and related libraries
can be gotten from www.theora.org or the main Xiph.Org site at
www.xiph.org. Development source is kept in an open subversion
repository, see http://theora.org/svn/ for instructions.
