@ezra you do realize that #AV1 is a superset of #VP9?
#theora
#libtheora 1.2 has been released (#Theora / #VideoCodec / #Codec / #Xiph / #libogg / #libvorbis / #On2 / #On2VP3 / #VP3) https://xiph.org/theora/
I still can't make mpv work again...
I don't know if it is still broken for everyone or if I have broken it even more...
I dropped the old version of libtheora as suggested and messed around with the symlinks and I don't know how to get it back to "normal".
(I use multilib, alienbob and kde6 repos)
I currently have this mess in /lib64:
After trying many, many audio apps I 've been using an audiobook player (Smart Audiobook Player) for #podcasts for a few years.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.smartaudiobookplayer
I d/l my podcasts $ELSEWHERE and use ffmpeg to convert to #opus audio, normalizing and reducing bandwidth. Recently a good many of these have been coming up "corrupted" in the player.
I used the ``file`` util to examine; it showed them as #theora video. What? I loaded up in #vlc and there was a "cover image". Some quick google-fu advised adding ``-map 0:a`` to restrict to purely audio in the #ogg container; worked great!
I still remember when #Theora was the only video codec that @wikipedia@wikis.world could use due to licensing issues. It was like three or four times larger than the then-current H.264 equivalent file, and encoding quality was questionable at best. How fast does time pass, we've since gone through #VP8, #VP9 and now #AV1 is positioning itself as the ultimate video codec, trading blows more or less evenly with H.265. Oh and don't even get me started with the #Opus audio codec! Theora will be fondly remembered by the free software community.

Google Chrome To Remove Theora Video Codec Support
I found this interesting post on the #Phoronix Forum:
This means that if I want to make my website invisible to people using Chromium-based browsers, I need only render the pictures in JPEG-XL and the videos in Theora. Sounds good to me. What method should I use to make the text invisible as well? Are there any fonts not rendered by Chromium?
Will the Google-bot stop indexing Theora videos? Does it index JPEG-XL pictures?
Please to all the #Gemini clients #developers — @jk @op @cage — make your client able to render #JPEGXL images and #THEORA codec videos.
:flan_beg:
On the Gemini space we won't suffer by any of those vulnerability while we are going to increase privacy!

Google Chrome To Remove #Theora Video Codec Support
Browsers removing support for #Theora videos. And Roc said the point of the web was keeping userspace compatibility!

OggConvert was last released in 2010.
It was a Linux program written in Python and GTK and used the GStreamer framework to convert digital audio and video files into Vorbis, Theora, VP8 and Dirac. It supported outputing audio and video into OGG, Matroska and WebM containers.
If you are looking for a modern transcoder than you take a look at HandBrake.

Since digital media content began to be streamed using third party services over the internet, some Linux programs became less useful.
The lastest version of Thoggen was released back in 2008, a tool used to transfer DVD content into OGG, Theora, AVI, DivX, and mpeg4 formats. Does anyone still use DVDs?

@Phate6660
Personaly i don't think its terribel, it holds up realetivly well from my own experiments, #theora is what i would concider terribel, but i will admit not huge fan of it beeing made by google and hardware suport least on the encoding side is almost none existent.
Is there a particular potierty code you use then or dose it just depend on what you are doing?
