[theora-codecs] Re: 3274253-docked On2 movies don't draw the video frame

[Anupam Anand]

Hi everyone,

How is VP3/theora's (at its current stage) quality and compression as
compared to vp6 , wmv, quicktime, mpeg4, divx, xvid and realmedia? What
stage is it in? Is it available for normal public use?
