    Looks promising for me. Would like to see Google reconsidering using Theora for Youtube. Last time they complained about lower quality for low resolutions movies.
    if thats for real, theora has about matched 264.

    Errr... Only h.264, really. Flash is a container. You can junk whatever you want inside it, I think.

    If we judge just from the pics, it looks promising yes.

    I've been waiting for Theora to reach a decent quality level. I want to use it for backup up my personal DVDs, but it just wasn't quite there before. Looking good. This is certainly adequate for youtube stuff.

    No the container for both is the same and it is ogg. So lets say you transcode movie1.mpeg with theora. The result will be movie1.ogg.
    If you transcode the audio sound1.wav with vorbis the result will be sound1.ogg as well.
    But just to be more obvious if an ogg file contains video or just audio, usually people just rename the movie1.ogg to movie1.ogv (ogg video) and sound1.ogg to sound1.oga (ogg audio) or they leave that last one as just sound1.ogg.
    So finally for movies we have the ogv extension and for audio ogg or oga


    Now about Theora Thusnelda:
    HURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

    So saying "the Ogg audio format" is actually quite OK, it just doesn't mention that the "Ogg audio format" is called "Ogg Vorbis." It's like saying "the Linux kernel audio API". It doesn't mention explicitly that it refers to "ALSA", but is correct. There is a Linux kernel audio API, just as there is an Ogg audio format.

    No you're not understsanding.... there was a typo error as soon as the article was published "formmat"

    Excellent! Free multimedia FTW! Now would be nice to see some unbiased tests comparing h.264, xvid, divx and theora thusnelda.
