I wonder what that means for Daala. It's scheduled to be finished by the end of this year. I hope it still gets finised.

- grayrest 11y agoDaala came up in the HN thread when Cisco announced Thor: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10042849 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10042849
- ZeroGravitas 11y agoI would guess, as an outsider, that it'll basically stop as an independent project and carry on to whatever degree its tech get absorbed into this new project. There's lots of cool tech in Daala, but I'm guessing that most people involved would be happy to see a royalty-free video codec succeed even if it wasn't entirely their baby and if the member corporations can throw enough lawyers, engineers and existing patents at the problem, then less sexy, more traditional tech will probably get the job done and make Daala's strategy less relevant.
- IshKebab 11y agoFrom what I've seen that is an unrealistic goal. It's not very close to H.265 yet.
- Caspy7 11y agoTechnologies from Daala, Thor, VP10 and contributions from other participants in the group will all be combined to essentially make one uber codec. Since Thor was released Daala already started incorporating parts of it that made sense (and vice versa for Thor). So this will just expand that pattern.
