Theora Cookbook

Ogg Theora is the best free software video codec for streaming video available. It has been around for a few years now and was developed by the same people that brought you the popular audio codec Ogg Vorbis.

Ogg Theora as yet doesn't have too many tools available for editing or streaming, but with a bit of persistence and some nifty command line tools you can do a lot with it.

Icecast2 supports Ogg Theora and the Cortado applet allows you to embed live or archived Theora video easily in a webpage. There is really alot you can do with it and it matches any modern streaming video codec for streaming. Ogg Theora is an excellent choice for most of your online streaming video needs.
