Theora 1.0 released

,----[ Quote ]
| The Xiph.Org Foundation announces the release of Theora 1.0.
| 
| Theora is a video codec with a small CPU footprint that offers easy
| portability and requires no patent royalties.  While the Theora
| bitstream format was standardized in 2004 and our beta releases have
| been used by millions, this 1.0 release is an important milestone
| reflecting the maturity and stability of the Theora codebase.

George Wright responds to backstage questions

,----[ Quote ]
| Some of the backstage community noticed the efforts of the BBC in Ubuntu 8.10 
| which was released on 30th October, to make a range of non-DRM content a. So 
| we decided to catch up with one of the man behind the project, George Wright 
| who is Portofolio Manager at Research and Innovaton. If Flash isn't your 
| style we have the same video in Mpeg4, Ogg Theora and Ogg Dirac.

Worlds first high performance Dirac video codec implementation available

,----[ Quote ]
| Thanks to collaboration with the Xiph.org foundation there is an official
| mapping for putting Dirac video into the Ogg container format underway, and
| the Schrödinger project also hosts a proposal for mapping Dirac into the
| popular MPEG-TS container format, which is currently being considered for
| certification by the MPEG working group. We expect to see and provide
| mappings for a lot more container formats in due course.

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.

| Glidden said, "Stay tuned. I have no announcements on any commercial
| implementations or time frame."
