Open Video Codec, Ogg Theora 1.0 Released

November 4th, 2008 by Dean Jansen

ogg fishJust yesterday, the folks at the Xiph Foundation announced the release of Theora 1.0! This is following some big improvements in the Theora encoder, and Mozilla’s decision to ship the next version of Firefox with native support for Theora.

All of this is great news, because an open and royalty free codec is very important to a functional open video ecosystem. We’ll keep you informed of further improvements and developments with Ogg Theora, as well as the authoring/playback applications that support it.

Note: Miro has always supported Ogg Theora playback
