+<h3>[ 2007 June 17 - Debconf 7 webcasts ]</h3>
+
+<p><a href="http://debconf7.debconf.org/">DebConf(7)</a> is happening
+this week, with <a href="http://streams.video.debconf.org:8000/">live
+streams</a> available. Archives will be <a href="http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2007/debconf7/">posted</a>
+overnight.</p>
+
+<p>They have an <a
+href="http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf7/videoteam/Setup#Setup">impressive
+setup</a> this year, testing several new pieces of software, including
+<a href="http://alioth.debian.org/projects/dvswitch/">dvswitch</a> for
+software mixing, <a href="http://pentabarf.org/">Pentbarf</a>
+integration for pulling metadata from the rest conference site, and
+CMMLbot for integration of the live irc commentary.</p>
+
+<p>And of course, there are a great number of <a
+href="https://penta.debconf.org/~joerg/day_9.en.html">interesting
+talks</a>
+about the Debian free software distribution, and open source in general. Check
+it out.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2007 June 11 - Jukola 2007 in Theora ]</h3>
+
+<p>A large <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orienteering">orienteering</a>
+competiton, <a href="http://www.jukola2007.net/">Jukola 2007</a>,
+is planning to webcast their event next week in Theora!</p>
+
+<p>It should be a large event, with 10-15k viewers expected. Server-side
+support is provided by <a href="http://www.kepit.fi/">Kepit Streaming
+Systems</a>. Way to go guys.</p>
+
+<p>A link should be available on the <a
+href="http://www.jukola2007.net/">front page</a> when the stream is live
+(2007 June 16-17). More information about the webcast is
+<a href="http://www.jukola2007.net/virkia/jukola.nsf/sp?Open&cid=content445C0C">available
+in Finnish</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2007 June 7 - HTML5 video now! ]</h3>
+
+<p>The folks at <a href="http://metavid.org/">Metavid</a> are continuing
+to prove their worth. Michael Dale has updated his mv_embed script to
+<em>dynamically rewrite</em> its host web page to use whatever support
+or Ogg video is available from the browser.</p>
+
+<p>That means you can just use, now, the
+<a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/section-video.html#video">HTML5 <video> tag</a>
+to embed Theora in your webpage, and simply by including the javascript,
+have it work on browsers which do not yet support it.</p>
+
+<p>You can <a href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu/blog/2007/06/07/html5-video-the-future-is-now/">read about the details</a> on the Metavid <a href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu/blog">blog</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2007 June 5 - Theora Cookbook ]</h3>
+
+<p>There's a <a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/theoracookbook">Theora
+Cookbook</a> with some helpful HOWTOs up at <a
+href="http://flossmanuals.net/">FLOSS Manuals</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Thanks to Adam Hyde for making this nice resource available.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2007 March 20 - Linux Audio Conference ]</h3>
+
+<p>The Linux Audio Conference takes place this week 22-25 March, 2007.
+As in past
+years LAC2007 will be streamed live in Vorbis and Theora via
+Icecast. If you would like to watch or listen to the streams please check
+out the conference wiki streaming page:

+<h3>[ 2007 March 6 - Native Theora support in Opera? ]</h3>
+
+<p>One of the Opera developers <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/56445403@N00/406571288/">apparently</a>
+<a
+href="http://coolastory.blogspot.com/2007/03/sv-web-builders-event-world-premier-of.html">demonstrated</a>
+<a href="http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/03/opera_visits_wi.html">native</a> Theora+Vorbis playback in their browser. Very cool! If we can get free
+video formats implemented as the baseline for web video, we'll have
+taken a major step away from the current morass of competing,
+incompatible, proprietary media on the web.</p>
+
+<p>This <a href="http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2007-February/009702.html">follows
+up</a> on a <a href="http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2007-March/009789.html">discussion</a>
+on the What WG mailing list.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2007 February 28 - LCA 2007 video online ]</h3>
+
+<p>Just a heads up that video from all the talks at <a
+href="http://lca2007.linux.org.au/">LCA 2007</a> has now been posted,
+in Theora format, of course.</p>
+
+<p>A lot of interesting talks here. They're all linked from the
+<a href="http://lca2007.linux.org.au/Programme">programme page</a>.
+
+<h3>[ 2007 February 3 - Metavid theora wrapper ]</h3>
+
+<p>Michael Dale of the <a href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu/">metavid</a>
+project sent us a pointer to a <a
+href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu/wiki_dev/mv_embed.01.tar.gz">standalone</a>,
+packaged version of their <a href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu/wiki/index.php/Mv_embed">cortado
+embedding</a> scripts.</p>
+
+<p>See the metavid blog <a href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu/blog/2007/02/03/ogg-theora-in-your-webpage/">for
+more information</a>. Thanks, Michael!</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2007 January 29 - ITheora php wrapper for cortado ]</h3>
+
+<p>Project contributor ZikZak has posted
+<a href="http://menguy.aymeric.free.fr/theora/">ITheora</a>,
+a GPL php wrapper to skin the
+<a href="http://www.flumotion.net/cortado/">cortado</a>
+java player. In addition to
+making it pretty, it adds a few nice buttons like play/stop, download,
+and so on. Instructions are in French, but the code package contains
+everything you need to set it up.</p>
+
+<p>This makes embedding theora in webpages much nicer.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2007 January 28 - Creative Commons talk ]</h3>
+
+<p><a href="http://romal.de/">Robert Albrecht</a>
+<a href="http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/theora/2007-January/001388.html">wrote</a>
+to say he has posted
+<a href="http://www.archive.org/download/Robert_M.Albrecht_Einfuehrung_in_CreativeCommons/romalcc.OGG">video</a>
+and
+<a href="http://www.pruefungsausschuss.de/www.romal.de/Creative%20Commons.pdf">slides</a>
+of his introduction to the <a href="http://creativecommons.org">creative
+commons</a> movement and licenses. (In German)</p>
+
+<p>Thanks Robert!</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 December 28 - 23C3 streams in Theora ]</h3>
+
+<p>Helmut Pozimski reports that the
+<a href="http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Overview">23rd Chaos
+Communication Conference</a> is now <a
+href="http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Streams">streaming their
+panels</a> in <a href="http://events.ccc.de/congress/2006/Streams#OGG">Theora</a>
+and Vorbis audio only</p>
+
+<p><strong>Update:</strong> Unofficial <a href="http://blogage.de/mirror/ogg/">archives of the talks</a> are
+online.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 December 20 - twibright vncrec outputs YUV4MPEG ]</h3>
+
+<p>Clock has hacked <a href="http://www.sodan.org/~penny/vncrec/">vncrec</a>
+To output the YUV4MPEG format, useful for feeding to the video encoders,
+including <a href="http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/">ffmpeg2theora</a>
+and the libtheora encoder_example.</p>
+
+<p>A release with the modification is <a href="http://ronja.twibright.com/utils/vncrec/">available here</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Thanks for this, clock!</a>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 December 1 - Theora on TI DM642 DSP ]</h3>
+
+<p>This is actually old news, but in February
+<a
+href="http://www.humboldt.co.uk/2006/02/embedded-theora-video.html">Adrian
+Cox</a> got SD theora decode working in realtime on an TI <a
+href="http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/tms320dm642.html">DM642</a>
+DSP.</p>
+<p> Way to go Adrian!</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 November 10 - Theora video on Dell.com ]</h3>
+
+<p>The Linux section of Dell Computer's <a href="http://www.direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/category/1021.aspx">collective
+blog</a> includes Theora alternatives to their apparently standard
+wmv vlog entries. Well done, Dell, for realizing no one can watch
+those!</p>
+
+<p>Recent examples include <a
+href="http://linux.dell.com/vlogs/Logan_McLeod_vlog.ogg">Logan
+McLeod advertising their clusters</a> and <a
+href="http://linux.dell.com/vlogs/MSD_ORACLE.vlog_2.ogg">Michael Dell's
+Keynote</a> at Oracle OpenWorld.</p>
+
+<p>Now, if they'd just make it the default link...</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 October 8 - Democracy shipping XiphQT ]</h3>
+
+<p>The MacOS version of the excellent <a href="http://www.getdemocracy.com/">Democracy</a>
+Internet TV platform now ships with and installs to <a href="http://xiph.org/quicktime/">XiphQT</a> components. This means that if you've installed Democracy, you can play Vorbis and Theora in other Quicktime-based applications!</p>
+<p>Way to support open media!</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 October 3 - EATV switches to streaming theora ]</h3>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.editingarchive.com/community/">Archive
+Entertainment</a> has switched their
+<a href="http://www.editingarchive.com/eatv">EATV streaming video</a>
+feed to <a href="http://icecast.org/">Icecast</a> and Theora! They
+say the switch to open technology has been very successful for them.</p>
+
+<p>Great news. Check out their
+<a href="http://www.editingarchive.com/eatv/">streams</a> or read more
+<a href="http://www.editingarchive.com/press/eatv.php">here</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 September 27 - International Free Software Forum video ]</h3>
+<p>People from <a href="http://fisl.softwarelivre.org/7.0/www/">International
+Free Software Forum</a> (the largest brazilian
+event about FLOSS) have done it two times in a row. They've
+<a href="http://torrents.softwarelivre.org/">put online</a>
+the whole video coverage for this year's event (also online are the
+videos from last year).</p>
+<p>It's almost 300 hours in Theora. It's a shame there's no subtitles,
+for most of the lectures are not in English...the English ones are really
+good, though.</p>
+<p>Also <a
+href="http://digg.com/videos_educational/Almost_300_hours_of_videos_about_Free_and_Open_Source_Software">posted
+to digg</a>.</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 June 20 - libtheora 1.0alpha7 release ]</h3>
+<p>There's a new release of the libtheora reference implementation.</p>
+<p>This release contains build fixes from the alpha6 release. There are
+no new features. The new MMX asm is enabled by default, and a problem
+with that same code on SELinux machines has been fixed.</p>

+<h3>[ 2006 May 31 - Cinelerra supports distributed theora encoding ]</h3>
+<p><a href="http://cinelerra.org/">Cinelerra</a> is a well known
+nonlinear video editor with support for renderfarms, enabiling use of
+distributed cpu power to do faster rendering.</p>
+<p>A year after getting import and export support for theora,
+Cinelerra now has distributed theora encoding support, which makes
+theora content creation much faster.</p>
+<p><em>Thanks to Andraz Tori for this.</em></p>
+
+<h3>[ 2006 May 30 - libtheora 1.0alpha6 release ]</h3>
+<p>We're pleased to announce a new release of the libtheora reference
+implemenation. This is an incremental update over alpha 5, consisting
+primarily of bug fixes and a merge of the encoder optimizations from the
+theora-mmx branch.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <a href="http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.0alpha6.tar.bz2">libtheora-1.0alpha6.tar.bz2<a/><br>

+ <a href="http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/theora/libtheora-1.0alpha6.zip">libtheora-1.0alpha6.zip</a>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p><strong>Changes since the 1.0 alpha 5 release:</strong>
+<ul>
+<li>Merge theora-mmx simd acceleration (x86_32 and x86_64)</li>
+<li>Major RTP payload specification update</li>
+<li>Minor format specification updates</li>
+<li>Fix some spurious calls to free() instead of _ogg_free()</li>
+<li>Fix invalid array indexing in PixelLineSearch()</li>
+<li>Improve robustness against invalid input</li>
+<li>General warning cleanup</li>
+<li>The offset_y member now means what every application thought it meant
+ (offset from the top). This will mean some old files (those with a
+ non-centered image created with a buggy encoder) will display
+ differently.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Thanks to everyone who contributed!</p>

+<h3>[ 2006 March 25 - Live installfest streams ]</h3>

+<p><a href="http://ystv.york.ac.uk/">York Student Television</a> is now
+available online in Theora, both as a live stream and downloads of

+about how they're using open source technology to distribute their

+
+<p>Way to go, YSTV, this is great to see!</p>
+
+<p>Note that the programs are also generally under a <a
+href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0">CC</a> license
+with a wierd additional advance notification requirement. We're not sure
+how exactly that's intended to work...</p>

+<h3>[ 2005 August 20 - libtheora 1.0 alpha 5 release ]</h3>
+<p>We're pleased to announce a new release of the libtheora reference
+implemenation. This is an incremental update over alpha 4, to draw
+a line under recent work before we start adding optimization work.
+</p><p>
+<p>There are two important bugfixes as well, so we recommend upgrading

+1.0 alpha 4.</p>

+<p>Changes since the 1.0 alpha 4 release:
+<ul>
+ <li>Fixed bitrate management bugs that caused popping and encode
+ errors.</li>

+ being intialized properly.</li>
+ <li>new theora_granule_shift() utility function</li>
+ <li>dump_video example now makes YUV4MPEG files by default, so
+ the results can be fed back to encoder_example and similar
+ tools. The old behavior is restored with the '-r' switch.</li>
+ <li>./configure now prints a summary</li>

+this month. While the earlier <a
+href="http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT3888835064.html">article at LinuxDevices</a>
+focussed on the software, this one covers in more detail the hardware
+and use of the FPGA to achieve the elphel camera's remarkable encoding
+speed.</p>

+<h3>[ 2005 Apr 17 - Theora decoder ported to C# ]</h3>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.ogre3d.org/">Ogre</a> developer pjcast has a C#
+port of the Theora decoder,
+based primarily on the <a href="http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/">JOrbis</a>
+and <a href="http://www.flumotion.net/jar/cortado/">Cortado</a> java
+decoders.</p>
+
+<p>He reports both video and sound are working, and performance is
+pretty good. The decoder components should be usable under any of
+the C# frameworks, but the example playback application is still
+a bit rough and not portable outside MS Windows.</p>

+<h3>[ 2004 Jun 1 - Theora I bitstream freeze ]</h3>
+
+<p>
+Big news. The Theora I bitstream format is now frozen! This means it's safe
+to start distributing videos in the theora format.
+</p><p>
+<em>Files produced by the alpha 3 reference encoder will be supported by
+all future decoders</em>.
+</p><p>
+Beta 1 was going to be the official freeze point, but was delayed by
+continuing work on the draft specification document; however
+we have reviewed enough of the design in writing the spec that we no
+longer need to reserve the right to make corrections to
+the encoder behavior.
+</p><p>
+So go ahead, there's no reason to delay adopting a free alternative any more!
+</p>
+<h3>[ 2004 Mar 20 - Theora alpha 3 release ]</h3>
+<p>
+We're pleased to announce the alpha 3 release of the theora reference
+implementation.</p>
+<blockquote>
+<a href="http://theora.org/files/libtheora-1.0alpha3.tar.bz2">
+ http://theora.org/files/libtheora-1.0alpha3.tar.bz2
+</a><br><a href="http://theora.org/files/libtheora-1.0alpha3.tar.gz">
+ http://theora.org/files/libtheora-1.0alpha3.tar.gz
+</a><br><a href="http://theora.org/files/libtheora-1.0alpha3.zip">
+ http://theora.org/files/libtheora-1.0alpha3.zip</a>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+The main differences over alpha 2:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> The encoded image has been flipped to match the sense used in VP3,
+ with the origin at the lower left. This allows lossless transcoding
+ of VP3 content.
+</li>
+<li> The decoder data tables included in the bitstream header are more
+ complete and have more scope for future encoder improvements.
+</li>
+<li> Some experimental tools are available in the win32 directory,
+ including a transcoder for avi vp3 files.
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+We hope there were be no more incompatible bitstream changes, but as
+with previous alpha releases we make no promises that the format will
+not change again.
+</p><p>
+Experimental playback support is now available (separately) for
+Helix/Realplayer 10, Xine and mplayer; you might look at those if you
+want a more full-featured player. Be sure to use an alpha-3 compatible
+version.
+</p>
+
+<h3>[ 2004 Mar 20 - source now in subversion ]</h3>
+
+<p>
+We've switched our version control system to <a

+from cvs, along with all the other Xiph.Org Foundation projects.
+</p><p>
+Please make a fresh checkout if you're following the
+development tree:</p>
+<blockquote>
+<tt>svn checkout http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/theora</tt>
+</blockquote>
+<p>
+as cvs is no longer updated. You can also mount the
+dav url directly on your desktop for read-only access.
+</p>
+<p>

+There hasn't been much progress of late. Derf has been working on a new encoder, and in doing so
+came up with some suggested bitstreams changes to increase the scope for future encoder
+improvements. These will be integrated into the reference encoder and released as 'alpha 3' for
+testing.
+<p>
+The main hold-up for the beta release is still a draft spec. Everyone's waiting for this because
+it means the format will be frozen and encoded files will be supported by future versions of the
+reference implementation. So if you want to help things along pull out the code and help with the
+documentation, or donate something to help pay for the work.

+<h3>[ June 9, 2003 - Theora alpha 2 release ]</h3>
+<p>
+The libtheora reference implementation has reached its 'alpha 2' milestone.
+A lot of bugs have been fixed and new features added, including all the
+planned changes to the bitsteams format.</p>
+<p>
+This is more of an internal milestone than a public release, but we are
+making a <a href="/files/libtheora-1.0alpha2.tar.gz">source tarball</a> available
+for convenience. Nevertheless we recommend using the <a href="svn.html">svn</a> version if possible. This release also requires svn libogg and libvorbis to compile; you might try the <a href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/download/vorbis_nightly_svn.tgz">svn nightly tarball</a> if you don't
+already have these checked out. You will need to build and install the 'ogg' and 'vorbis' modules.
+
+<h3>[ May 8, 2003 - VP3 Legacy Codec binaries ]</h3>
+<p>
+Mauricio Piacentini has been maintaining the original VP32 sources upon which theora is
+based. He's pooling his efforts with Xiph a bit and has decided to keep his work in xiph.org
+svn, in the 'vp32' module where the code was originally released. We hope this will help
+concentrate efforts related to theora and bring additional focus to both projects.
+<p>
+He is also making his binary builds for Quicktime 6 and Video for Windows available on
+this site. Please visit the <a href="http://people.xiph.org/~mauricio/">legacy VP3 page</a>
+for file links and complete information.
+
+<h3>[ May 7, 2003 - Status update ]</h3>
+<p>
+Things have been slow for some time, so we just wanted to say what's been happening.
+Monty's been busy with unrelated contract work since finishing the zero-copy libogg,
+and no one has stepped up to act as maintainer in the meantime. We've been working
+on a <a href="http://wiki.xiph.org/TheoraTodo">wiki todo</a> for theora and for
+<a href="http://wiki.xiph.org/">xiph generally</a>. So feel free to look (and contribute)
+there.
+<p>
+<p><b>[ January 13th, 2003 - Test Suite ]</b></p>
+<p>
+We've posted a <a href="http://www.theora.org/test/test.zip">test suite</a> for your encoding pleasure.
+Feel free to post comments and questions to the Theora
+<a href="http://www.theora.org/lists.html">mailing lists.</a>

+<b>[ December 16th, 2002 - Robot Roll Call ]</b><br>
+<p>
+The first part of Theora Alpha Two, the delicious Video Layer FAQ is now
+available on the <a href="http://www.theora.org/theorafaq.html">FAQ</a>
+page, written by Dan Miller. The second part is libogg hacking, the
+results of which will be posted just a little after December 27th. Alpha
+Two is really more of an informational release than a big downloadable
+install-fest, so don't fire up the testbeds just yet.
+<p>
+Welcome to theora.org, the official website for Theora, a video
+codec and integration project maintained and supported by the <a
+href="http://www.xiph.org">Xiph.Org Foundation</a> for the benefit of
+all humankind.
+<p>
+What is Theora? Theora will be a video codec that builds upon On2's VP3
+codec. While <a href="http://www.vorbis.com">Vorbis</a> has reached
+1.0, Theora is currently being integrated into the Ogg multimedia framework, as well as being optimized
+from the VP3 codebase at its heart.
+<p>
+Theora will be released in June of 2003, with three major milestones, the
+first being released today, September 25th, 2002. Today's piece is
+available for download in the 'theora' module of the Xiph.Org Foundation<a
+href="http://www.theora.org/svn.html">SVN</a> repository, as
+well as a UNIX tarball available <a
+href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/download/theora_svn_snapshot.tgz">here</a>.
+<p>
+There's a lot of useful information under the hood, so please have a
+look around by using the navigation links at the top of the page. If
+there's anything you think that we need on this page, please <a
+href="http://www.theora.org/contact.html">contact us</a> and let us
+know what you'd like to
+see.
+<p>
+For the legal terms on the usage of the VP3 codec, please check out the
+<a href="http://www.theora.org/svn.html">SVN</a> page. If you would like
+to help sponsor the development of Theora and other open technologies from
+the Xiph.Org Foundation, please consider a donation! More information is
+available at <a
+href="http://www.xiph.org/donate/">this link</a>.
+<p>
+Thanks for stopping by, and happy hacking!
