Improvements to Ogg Theora
So I haven’t really kept up with Theora much, having become addicted to H.264, but a slashdot comment posted today showed me some experiments xiphmont has been doing to improve Theora’s video quality that, so far, seem to be yielding very substantial results. It’s definitely got my interest back in Theora.
I don’t know if the results rival what (say) x264 can produce in terms of quality/size ratio, but compared to baseline Theora the improvement is very obvious.
Worth a look, especially by all you video people (in the context of this weblog: AMVers) out there.
