[theora] theora II interest.

[Sergey Kurdakov]

Hi

first I'm happy that theora 1.1 is almost complete.

I'm not a specialist in internals of video coding , still currently I'm
involved in online video projects so I have a great interest in theora and
it's future.

Here http://wiki.xiph.org/TheoraTodo#Theora_II  it is mentioned that there
are ways to significantly improve theora. Are there plans for near future?

I tried to look at lapped transforms and found that really there are papers
which seems  are out of patent horizon
http://signal.ece.utexas.edu/~queiroz/papers/ei00flt.pdf<http://signal.ece.utexas.edu/%7Equeiroz/papers/ei00flt.pdf>

and could be used along with improvements in range coding.

But also found for example such approach - which seems can effectively use
current infrastructure ( not sure on patents though - but it is possible to
check ) .

http://www2.computer.org/plugins/dl/pdf/proceedings/dcc/2008/3121/00/3121a532.pdf

so will there be any discussions on what currently could be used for theora
II or what is the current state on future plans ?

Best regards
Sergey
