[vorbis-dev] Ogg VEO Codec, video in an Ogg stream

We did make some progress on an opensource video codec named Tarkin.. We do intend it to go into the
Ogg system, but we have been busy working on vorbis.  We've gotten 1:30 compression, and with the
ideas we have now (no chance to implement them) we're looking at least 1:50/60 with more dev
time.. The goal is to have it about 1:100.

We're still looking to add someone with video experience to the team, so that we can move along with
this project (:
