Hi All,<br><br>as <a href="https://trac.xiph.org/browser/experimental/derf/theora-ptalarbvorm">https://trac.xiph.org/browser/experimental/derf/theora-ptalarbvorm</a> goes I'd like to share<br>one idea on features to improve market penetration and the acceptance of<br>
theora codec.<br><br>there is a market - online web games.<br>but still most of the games are quite primitive as their expressive means are not well developed.<br>rich interactive 3D rendering is not easy to make with flash and friends.<br>
<br>And for most of those games low latency video will be a real solution to add extra life.<br><br>and there are approaches to achieve such modes<br><br><a href="http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=249">http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=249</a><br>
<br>I did not test current theora on ability to provide low latency streaming. Still few ideas like "Periodic intra refresh" ( from link above ) might improve the situation.<br><br>Now then, when it is in, it is easy to imagine someone sitting and pressing keyboard with 3D game screen changing ( which is rendered on server ).<br>
<br>The penetration for theora ( as free codec compared to H.264 ( which is free for free sites till some date in future but not otherwise )) might really increase.<br><br>Regards<br>Sergey<br><br><br><br><br>
