open source video codecs get interesting again.
a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away i was perversely interested in audio/video codecs and the xiph program. now it turns out that google is funding an ARM optimized implementation of the theora protocol, aka Theorarm. personally, i find this interesting given the opportunity to move video codec function to lower power general purpose CPUs and alleviating some of the hardware requirements for speedy video decode without requiring offload hardware.
interesting sponsorship of an open source program.
