Theora is based on VP3, an old codec from the 90s. So you
can imagine that if it were to get traction patent holders
would be coming out of the woodwork for their piece of the
pie. It is a rights nightmare waiting to happen. Plus the
quality potential is not that great when compared to any
modern codec. H264 IS NOT AN APPLE PRODUCT! It is an ISO
standard like MPEG 2 and so on. So ease er down buckaroo!
