+<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.
+</p>
+For more on the vlc syntax, see: <br>

+<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.

+<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

+<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 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 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>

+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

+<h3>2004 Dec 11 - Theora support in LiVES</h3>
+<p>Theora is now fully supported in LiVES is a Video Editing System (LiVES), as of version 0.9.1.
+If you are interested in having a nice, user friendly interface for
+testing out theora, then download LiVES and try it.<br>
+<a href="http://lives.sourceforge.net"> (http://lives.sourceforge.net)</a></p>

+<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 Nov 21 - Theora encoder, Katiuska 0.6.1, released</h3>
+<p>Katiuska is a theora encoder frontend that runs on KDE. It uses ffmpeg2theora, mencoder,
+the encoder_example that comes with the theora libs and a little gpl bash script. It can
+encode mostly any kind of video that ffmpeg and mencoder can (avi, mpeg4 and 2, quicktime etc).</p>
+<p>On a KDE system, first install libtheora (see navigation links to the left).</p>
+<p>Make sure Kommander is installed: <br>

+
+<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.
+<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!

-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>

-<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>

-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>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.
-<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!

-<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.
-</p>

-<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
