Summer of Code: Ogg Theora Port
,----[ Quote ]
| Porting open, patent free codecs to our devices has always been of great
| interest to neuros and many of our users. As some of you Neuros old timers
| may recall, we were the first to port the Ogg Vorbis audio codec to a
| portable HDD audio player. Now it's time, hopefully, to do the same with the
| Ogg Theora video codec.

Google Takes Down Open-source Project After DMCA Complaint
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has removed an open-source project that enables the proprietary
| CoreAVC high-definition video decoder to run in Linux following a complaint
| from the codec's developer -- but the project could soon return.
|
| [...]
|
| CoreAVC-for-Linux was an open-source project led by Google that developed
| patches which allow Linux applications, such as mplayer, to use the CoreAVC
| codec. A cached version of the project's Web page said video performance was
| the main motivation for creating Linux support for CoreAVC.
