Wind River's Linux transformation

you want digital video in your device, put in linux and theora codecs: licensing fee = $0.
No time wasted negotiating license terms and so on,
you can just ship!

Theora digital video format is now fixed (the software is still
"alpha" (in a firefox way - it seems damn stable to me!) but the
format is fixed already.

Compression is comparable to MPEG4 or WMP9.

This will allow ultra cheap:
Hard Disk video recorder
Digital Camcorder (record to flash)
Web TV
and so on.
No licence fees, no hassle of arranging a license.; Posted by: hipparchus2000 Posted on: 04/07/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
