> It looks like vp3 will really be an open source video codec, see the
> announcement on http://vp3.com, there's good discussion on K5 at
> http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/3/27/23290/5136 .  Hopefully this will
> mean that a lot of open source projects that have held off of supporting
> the codec because of patent concerns will now use it and the code.

> I've watched a few movies encoded in vp3 it seems pretty comparable to
> Sorenson, there some reviews of the codec in comparison at dv.com and
> streamingmedia.com (both sites require free registration) and it compared
> favorably.  Anyone who has experience with it care to comment?
> 
> Quicktime 5 supports this codec now, Realplayer will soon, there's a VFW
> driver so WMP does as well.  No native unix player supports it but
> mplayer does through the 'doze dlls.  Streaming is a problem in that you
> still need to "hint" the files to use Quicktime and Darwin Streaming
> Servers, I believe the only way to do that is with Quicktime Pro.
