Entropy Wave Encoder

The Entropy Wave Encoder enables video content creators and publishers to make their content availble in free video formats such as Theora and Dirac. Theora video can be used with the new HTML5 <video> tag and FireFox 3.1 to deliver high-quality content without being constrained to the limitations of Flash. And since Theora and Dirac are open video technologies, no royalties are required for streaming video over the web, even after January 1, 2011.
