+<b>Q. What is Theora?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+Theora is an <b>open</b> video codec being developed by the Xiph.org 
+Foundation as part of their Ogg project (It is a project that aims to
+integrate On2's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP3">VP3</a> 
+video codec, Ogg <a href="http://www.vorbis.com/">Vorbis</a> audio codec 
+and Ogg multimedia container formats into a multimedia solution that can 
+compete with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4">MPEG-4</a> format).
+<br> Theora is derived directly 
+from On2's VP3 codec; currently the two are nearly identical, varying 
+only in framing headers, but Theora will diverge and improve from 
+the main VP3 development lineage as time progresses. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="11"></a>
+<b>Q. Why use Theora?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+It's open and free. Do you need more reasons?
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="12"></a>
+<b>Q. What other video formats will Theora compete with?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+  Theora is targeted at competing with MPEG-4 (e.g., XviD and DivX), 
+RealVideo, Windows Media Video, and similar lower-bitrate video 
+compression schemes.
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="13"></a>
+<b>Q. What is Ogg? What is Vorbis? What is xiph.org?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+ <a href="http://www.vorbis.com/">Vorbis</a> is an audio codec, 
+Theora is a video codec. Ogg is the transport layer that both are stored in, 
+so a video file will be Theora-encoded data inside an Ogg file, while audio 
+is normally Vorbis-encoded data inside an ogg file. 
+<br>
+ The <a href="http://www.xiph.org/">Xiph.org</a> Foundation is a 
+Delaware non-profit company devoted to producing, maintaining and 
+supporting an open multimedia platform. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="14"></a>
+<b>Q. What is the license for Theora?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+Theora (and all associated technologies released by the Xiph.org
+Foundation) is released to the public via a BSD-style license. It is
+completely free for commercial or noncommercial use. That means that
+commercial developers may independently write Theora software which is
+compatible with the specification for no charge and without restrictions of
+any kind. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="15"></a>
+<b>Q. Why the name 'Theora?'</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+Like other Xiph.org Foundation codec projects such as Vorbis or Tarkin,
+Theora is named after a fictional character. Theora Jones was the name of
+Edison Carter's 'controller' on the television series Max Headroom. She was
+played by Amanda Pays.  
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="VP3"></a>
+<b>Theora and VP3 </b>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="20"></a>
+<b>Q. Is the Theora bitstream identical to VP3?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+  Yes and No. Theora is a superset of VP3, so VP3 streams (with minor
+syntactic modifications) can be made into Theora streams without
+recompression (but not vice versa).
+<br>
+ Theora will be almost entirely based upon the VP3 codec designed by On2.
+However, Theora video data will be delivered inside of the Ogg container
+format (with Vorbis for audio), so Ogg Theora files will not be the same as
+VP3 files. There also may be quite a few performance advantages to using
+Theora when 1.0 is complete; While our focus is integration, there will
+certainly be a lot of optimization involved, as well. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="21"></a>
+<b>Q. What can Theora do that VP3 couldn't do?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+ The major change from VP3 to Theora is architectural. VP3, like most
+codecs of today, makes certain assumptions about the nature of the material
+it compresses. These assumptions take the form of fixed sets of numeric
+values, such as quantization matrices, which control how different
+frequency components of the signal are handled, and token frequency tables,
+which control the efficiency of post-transform lossless coding. In Theora,
+we have leveraged the intrinsic flexibility of the Ogg multimedia framework
+to allow the encoder to modify these values appropriately for the material.
+This simple, powerful approach has already been proven effective in Vorbis,
+and will allow for a longer cycle of encoder optimization without requiring
+client-side updates. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="22"></a>
+<b>Q. How will I transition my old VP3 files to the new format?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+ Because Theora is a 'superset' of VP3, tools can easily be created that
+will allow VP3 files to be losslessly transcoded into Ogg Theora format
+with no loss in quality. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="23"></a>
+<b>Q. Can I convert Ogg Theora files into VP3?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+ Why would you want to do something like that? Are you nuts? 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="24"></a>
+<b>Q. Isn't VP3 a patented technology?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+ Yes, some portions of the VP3 codec are covered by patents. However, the
+Xiph.org Foundation has negotiated an irrevocable free license to the VP3
+codec for any purpose imaginable on behalf of the public. It is legal to
+use VP3 in any way you see fit (unless, of course, you're doing something
+illegal with it in your particular jurisdiction). You are free to download
+VP3, use it free of charge, implement it in a for-sale product, implement
+it in a free product, make changes to the source and distribute those
+changes, or print the source code out and wallpaper your spare room with
+it. 
+<br>
+For more information, check the VP3 Legal Terms on the SVN page
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="25"></a>
+<b>Q. What if Xiph.org and On2 decide to break off their agreement?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+ Because Theora is an Open Source project, the source code will continue to
+be available and development will continue. Users will still be protected
+from the On2 patents. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="development"></a>
+<b>Development </b>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="30"></a>
+<b>Q. When will it all be finished? Can I use it right now?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+The bitstream format is frozen since the release of Theora alpha 3. So, files produced by 
+the alpha 3 reference encoder will be supported by all future decoders. This means
+you can safely use Theora to encode your content right now.
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="31"></a>
+<b>Q. What is an Alpha Release?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+Typically when software is created at a software company, it goes through a number of stages 
+before it's released out to the world. You've probably heard of 'beta-testing' before. That's 
+when people take code that has been deemed 'not quite ready' and are testing it out so that 
+the authors can fix bugs where necessary. 
+<br>
+'Alpha' code usually is strictly for internal development only, which is to say, 'No one sees this code, 
+it's not even close to being done yet.' At the Xiph.org Foundation, we release everything we do 
+so that people can help us move the codebase forward by reporting bugs and submitting patches. 
+<br>
+We encourage and depend on the open-source developer community to get
+involved early. We release Alpha builds to give people a chance
+to see what's cooking, and perhaps to add some ingredients of their own. If
+you think you have the right stuff, please join the party at
+<a href="http://www.Theora.org/lists">www.Theora.org/lists</a>. 
+<br><br>
+While Theora is labelled alpha/beta it has been in production use in many systems for over 3 years and is completely safe to adopt.
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="32"></a>
+<b>Q. What is Tarkin?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+Tarkin is essentially a proof-of-concept wavelet-based codec. Its
+experimental nature means it will not be ready for general use for some
+time. VP3 is a high-quality codec that can meet today's video needs now, so
+Xiph.org will be focusing its efforts on Theora for the near future. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="33"></a>
+<b>Q. How can I help with development?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+Head on over to the <a href="http://www.Theora.org/svn.html">SVN</a>
+ page to grab the codebase, and hack away! Post your contributions online,
+ and tell us about it on the <a href="http://www.Theora.org/lists.html">Theora-dev
+</a> mailing list. 
+</div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<a name="34"></a>
+<b>Q. How will Ogg Theora interoperate with [insert your favorite media architecture]?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+ As the Ogg Vorbis format has gained acceptance, components have become
+available to play Ogg files on practically all of the major media players.
+We expect a similar if not superior level of support for Ogg Theora.
+Developers wanted! (if you're interested, sign up for the
+Theora-codecs at xiph.org mailing list).

+<b>Q. How can I encode videos to Theora?</b><br>
+<div class="txt">
+<p>Have a look at <a
+href="http://people.xiph.org/~j/ogg-theora-microhowto.html">
+ogg-theora-microhowto</a> and <a href="http://www.annodex.net/anx_theora.html">transcode
+</a>quicktime mov files to Theora files under Linux.
+You can use libogg, to wrap theora video with vorbis audio in Ogg
+file.
+</p>
+<p>A user-friendly way to convert .dv and .avi format video into Ogg Theora format is 
+with ffmpeg2theora.  It can be found at: <a href="http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/"> 
+http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/</a>
+</p>
+<p>A way to both stream and encode theora format video is with videolan (VLC).  <br>
+Example for streaming the video4linux device in ogg theora/vorbis: 
+</p>
+<p>vlc v4l:/dev/video:input=3:norm=pal:size=384x288 --sout  \ <br>
+'#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=300,acodec=vorb,ab=96}:std{access=http,mux=ogg,url=server.example.org:8000}'
+</p>
+<p>Or, replace "v4l:/dev/video:input=3:norm=pal:size=384x288" with a filename if 
+you want to transcode.

+<div class="txt">
+The Xiph.org Foundation is the primary developer of Theora, but this is

+Theora was written by a company called <a href="http://www.on2.com">On2 Technologies</a>. Xiph.org will be
+responsible for all aspects of the development. On2 will provide both
+monetary and technical support to Xiph.org throughout the project. On2 is

+
+<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>

+
+<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 &lt;video&gt; 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 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>

+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

+
+<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

+<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

+<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>

+</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>

+on his FPGA Theora encoder in <a 
+href="http://xilinx.com/publications/xcellonline/">Xcell Journal</a> 
+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

+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>
+
+<p>A <a href="http://www.wreckedgames.com/ogg.zip">development 
+snapshot</a> is available for those who would like to
+try out the code.</p>

+up.
+</p><p>
+JRoar is a pure Java Ogg streaming server from the folks at <a 
+href="http://www.jcraft.com/">JCraft</a>. I can serve static files,
+mirror external streams, or serve a source stream from a number of 
+clients. It can also serve the 
+<a href="http://www.jcraft.com/jorbis/">JOrbis</a> Vorbis player

+<h3>2004 Dec 6 - Fluendo funds RTP streaming of Theora and Vorbis</h3>
+<p>Streaming media startup <a href="http://www.fluendo.com/">Fluendo.com</a>
+announced today they will be funding a spec and reference implementation
+for encapsulation of Theora video and Vorbis audio over the RTP streaming
+protocol, important for multicast, digital broadcast, and conferencing
+applications.</p>
+<p>A <a href="http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2004-03.html">press 
+release</a> was issued this morning.</p>
+<p>While HTTP streaming of Ogg-encapsulated multimedia has been supported
+for most of the history of our free codecs, RTP support is an oft-requested
+feature that we've never had a good solution for. We're very happy to 
+see Fluendo driving this new work.</p>
+<p>Phil Kerr will be managing the developement of the new drafts. The 
+development process is open, with discussion taking place in the new
+<a href="http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/xiph-rtp">xiph-rtp</a>
+mailing list. Please join if you're interested in these issues.

+<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 
+href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">subversion</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>
+See our <a href="svn.html">instruction page</a> for details.
+You can find more information about this great new tool at
+<a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/">definitive reference book's</a>
+website.
+</p>
+<h3>2004 Jan 26 - status update</h3>
+<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.

+<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

-<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 &lt;video&gt; 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 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>

-
-<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

-<h3>2007 February 3 - Metavid theora wrapper</h3>
-
-<p>Michael Dale of the <a href="http://metavid.ucsc.edu/">metavid</a>

-<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>

-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

-McLeod advertising their clusters</a> and <a 
-href="http://linux.dell.com/vlogs/MSD_ORACLE.vlog_2.ogg">Michael Dell's

-<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

-<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>
-

-
-<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>

-<h3>2004 Dec 6 - Fluendo funds RTP streaming of Theora and Vorbis</h3>
-<p>Streaming media startup <a href="http://www.fluendo.com/">Fluendo.com</a>
-announced today they will be funding a spec and reference implementation
-for encapsulation of Theora video and Vorbis audio over the RTP streaming
-protocol, important for multicast, digital broadcast, and conferencing
-applications.</p>
-<p>A <a href="http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2004-03.html">press 
-release</a> was issued this morning.</p>
-<p>While HTTP streaming of Ogg-encapsulated multimedia has been supported
-for most of the history of our free codecs, RTP support is an oft-requested
-feature that we've never had a good solution for. We're very happy to 
-see Fluendo driving this new work.</p>
-<p>Phil Kerr will be managing the developement of the new drafts. The 
-development process is open, with discussion taking place in the new
-<a href="http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/xiph-rtp">xiph-rtp</a>

-<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 
-href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">subversion</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>
-See our <a href="svn.html">instruction page</a> for details.
-You can find more information about this great new tool at
-<a href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/">definitive reference book's</a>
-website.
-</p>
-<h3>2004 Jan 26 - status update</h3>
-<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>

-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><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

-<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!

-<a name="10"></a>
-<b>Q. What is Theora?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-Theora is an <b>open</b> video codec being developed by the Xiph.org 
-Foundation as part of their Ogg project (It is a project that aims to
-integrate On2's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP3">VP3</a> 
-video codec, Ogg <a href="http://www.vorbis.com/">Vorbis</a> audio codec 
-and Ogg multimedia container formats into a multimedia solution that can 
-compete with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4">MPEG-4</a> format).
-<br> Theora is derived directly 
-from On2's VP3 codec; currently the two are nearly identical, varying 
-only in framing headers, but Theora will diverge and improve from 
-the main VP3 development lineage as time progresses. 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="11"></a>
-<b>Q. Why use Theora?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-It's open and free. Do you need more reasons?
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="12"></a>
-<b>Q. What other video formats will Theora compete with?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-  Theora is targeted at competing with MPEG-4 (e.g., XviD and DivX), 
-RealVideo, Windows Media Video, and similar lower-bitrate video 
-compression schemes.
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="13"></a>
-<b>Q. What is Ogg? What is Vorbis? What is xiph.org?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
- <a href="http://www.vorbis.com/">Vorbis</a> is an audio codec, 
-Theora is a video codec. Ogg is the transport layer that both are stored in, 
-so a video file will be Theora-encoded data inside an Ogg file, while audio 
-is normally Vorbis-encoded data inside an ogg file. 
-<br>
- The <a href="http://www.xiph.org/">Xiph.org</a> Foundation is a 
-Delaware non-profit company devoted to producing, maintaining and 
-supporting an open multimedia platform. 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="14"></a>
-<b>Q. What is the license for Theora?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-Theora (and all associated technologies released by the Xiph.org
-Foundation) is released to the public via a BSD-style license. It is
-completely free for commercial or noncommercial use. That means that
-commercial developers may independently write Theora software which is
-compatible with the specification for no charge and without restrictions of
-any kind. 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="15"></a>
-<b>Q. Why the name 'Theora?'</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-Like other Xiph.org Foundation codec projects such as Vorbis or Tarkin,
-Theora is named after a fictional character. Theora Jones was the name of
-Edison Carter's 'controller' on the television series Max Headroom. She was
-played by Amanda Pays.  
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="VP3"></a>
-<b>Theora and VP3 </b>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="20"></a>
-<b>Q. Is the Theora bitstream identical to VP3?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-  Yes and No. Theora is a superset of VP3, so VP3 streams (with minor
-syntactic modifications) can be made into Theora streams without
-recompression (but not vice versa).
-<br>
- Theora will be almost entirely based upon the VP3 codec designed by On2.
-However, Theora video data will be delivered inside of the Ogg container
-format (with Vorbis for audio), so Ogg Theora files will not be the same as
-VP3 files. There also may be quite a few performance advantages to using
-Theora when 1.0 is complete; While our focus is integration, there will
-certainly be a lot of optimization involved, as well. 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="21"></a>
-<b>Q. What can Theora do that VP3 couldn't do?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
- The major change from VP3 to Theora is architectural. VP3, like most
-codecs of today, makes certain assumptions about the nature of the material
-it compresses. These assumptions take the form of fixed sets of numeric
-values, such as quantization matrices, which control how different
-frequency components of the signal are handled, and token frequency tables,
-which control the efficiency of post-transform lossless coding. In Theora,
-we have leveraged the intrinsic flexibility of the Ogg multimedia framework
-to allow the encoder to modify these values appropriately for the material.
-This simple, powerful approach has already been proven effective in Vorbis,
-and will allow for a longer cycle of encoder optimization without requiring
-client-side updates. 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="22"></a>
-<b>Q. How will I transition my old VP3 files to the new format?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
- Because Theora is a 'superset' of VP3, tools can easily be created that
-will allow VP3 files to be losslessly transcoded into Ogg Theora format
-with no loss in quality. 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="23"></a>
-<b>Q. Can I convert Ogg Theora files into VP3?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
- Why would you want to do something like that? Are you nuts? 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="24"></a>
-<b>Q. Isn't VP3 a patented technology?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
- Yes, some portions of the VP3 codec are covered by patents. However, the
-Xiph.org Foundation has negotiated an irrevocable free license to the VP3
-codec for any purpose imaginable on behalf of the public. It is legal to
-use VP3 in any way you see fit (unless, of course, you're doing something
-illegal with it in your particular jurisdiction). You are free to download
-VP3, use it free of charge, implement it in a for-sale product, implement
-it in a free product, make changes to the source and distribute those
-changes, or print the source code out and wallpaper your spare room with
-it. 
-<br>
-For more information, check the VP3 Legal Terms on the SVN page
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="25"></a>
-<b>Q. What if Xiph.org and On2 decide to break off their agreement?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
- Because Theora is an Open Source project, the source code will continue to
-be available and development will continue. Users will still be protected
-from the On2 patents. 
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="development"></a>
-<b>Development </b>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="30"></a>
-<b>Q. When will it all be finished? Can I use it right now?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-The bitstream format is frozen since the release of Theora alpha 3. So, files produced by 
-the alpha 3 reference encoder will be supported by all future decoders. This means
-you can safely use Theora to encode your content right now.
-</div>
-<br>
-<br>
-<a name="31"></a>
-<b>Q. What is an Alpha Release?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-Typically when software is created at a software company, it goes through a number of stages 
-before it's released out to the world. You've probably heard of 'beta-testing' before. That's 
-when people take code that has been deemed 'not quite ready' and are testing it out so that 
-the authors can fix bugs where necessary. 
-<br>
-'Alpha' code usually is strictly for internal development only, which is to say, 'No one sees this code, 
-it's not even close to being done yet.' At the Xiph.org Foundation, we release everything we do 
-so that people can help us move the codebase forward by reporting bugs and submitting patches. 
-<br>
-We encourage and depend on the open-source developer community to get
-involved early. We release Alpha builds to give people a chance
-to see what's cooking, and perhaps to add some ingredients of their own. If
-you think you have the right stuff, please join the party at
-<a href="http://www.Theora.org/lists">www.Theora.org/lists</a>. 
-<br><br>
-While Theora is labelled alpha/beta it has been in production use in many systems for over 3 years and is completely safe to adopt.

-<b>Q. What is Tarkin?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-Tarkin is essentially a proof-of-concept wavelet-based codec. Its
-experimental nature means it will not be ready for general use for some
-time. VP3 is a high-quality codec that can meet today's video needs now, so
-Xiph.org will be focusing its efforts on Theora for the near future.

-<b>Q. How can I help with development?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-Head on over to the <a href="http://www.Theora.org/svn.html">SVN</a>
- page to grab the codebase, and hack away! Post your contributions online,
- and tell us about it on the <a href="http://www.Theora.org/lists.html">Theora-dev

-<b>Q. How will Ogg Theora interoperate with [insert your favorite media architecture]?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
- As the Ogg Vorbis format has gained acceptance, components have become
-available to play Ogg files on practically all of the major media players.
-We expect a similar if not superior level of support for Ogg Theora.
-Developers wanted! (if you're interested, sign up for the
-Theora-codecs at xiph.org mailing list).

-<b>Q. What players currently support Theora?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-Major players like <a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/">mplayer</a>,
-<a href="http://www.xinehq.de/">xine</a>, <a
-href="http://www.helixcommunity.org">helix player</a> and <a
-href="http://www.videolan.org/">VideoLAN</a> supports Theora. 
-Directshow <a href="http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/">filters</a>
-are also available for use on Windows platform.

-<b>Q. How can I encode videos to Theora?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-<p>Have a look at <a
-href="http://people.xiph.org/~j/ogg-theora-microhowto.html">
-ogg-theora-microhowto</a> and <a href="http://www.annodex.net/anx_theora.html">transcode
-</a>quicktime mov files to Theora files under Linux.
-You can use libogg, to wrap theora video with vorbis audio in Ogg
-file.
-</p>
-<p>A user-friendly way to convert .dv and .avi format video into Ogg Theora format is 
-with ffmpeg2theora.  It can be found at: <a href="http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/"> 
-http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/</a>
-</p>
-<p>A way to both stream and encode theora format video is with videolan (VLC).  <br>
-Example for streaming the video4linux device in ogg theora/vorbis: 
-</p>
-<p>vlc v4l:/dev/video:input=3:norm=pal:size=384x288 --sout  \ <br>
-'#transcode{vcodec=theora,vb=300,acodec=vorb,ab=96}:std{access=http,mux=ogg,url=server.example.org:8000}'
-</p>
-<p>Or, replace "v4l:/dev/video:input=3:norm=pal:size=384x288" with a filename if 
-you want to transcode.
-</p>
-For more on the vlc syntax, see: <br>

-href="http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net/">FFdshow</a> also has support for Theora. You

-<b>Q. Who's in charge of Theora development?</b><br>
-<div class="txt">
-The Xiph.org Foundation is the primary developer of Theora, but this is
-mainly an integration issue. The VP3 codec that serves as the base of
-Theora was written by a company called <a href="http://www.on2.com">On2 Technologies</a>. Xiph.org will be
-responsible for all aspects of the development. On2 will provide both
-monetary and technical support to Xiph.org throughout the project. On2 is
-also providing the source code of their implementation of the VP3 codec as
-well as some of their video tools.
