Title

VP3.com : On2 Technologies VP3.2 Open Source Project

Description

VP3 is the world's most efficient, open source video codec to date. With VP3, there are no platform limitations and developers are not required to pay the restrictive license fees that other open source codecs make mandatory. Unlike other open source, or standards based video codecs, VP3 allows for the highest quality video, at the lowest possible data rates while still retaining the video's full frame-rate. The result is a clear 320x240 video that can be expanded to a full-screen 640x480 resolution. The power of this codec has been validated by the fact that it has been licensed by both RealNetworks and Apple for their internet video players.

VP3 is designed to produce high quality video that is highly compressed and yet easily played back on today's computers. Movies of varying screen dimensions can be encoded at different datarates and played back efficiently on a number of different platforms. It can be streamed efficiently over the web, or played off of a local disk drive, compact disc or digital video disk. Applications for this technology include video electronic mail, video web broadcasting, videoconferencing, video games, medical imaging, and digital VCRs.

The VP3 codec was originally only available through On2's proprietary TrueMotion architecture, but is now being made available for some other environments. Apple announced that the VP3 codec will be available in QuickTime 5 as a component download.
