Theora
Theora is a free lossy video compression format. It is developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation and distributed without licensing fees alongside their other free and open media projects, including the Vorbis audio format and the Ogg container.
The libtheora video codec is the reference implementation of the Theora video compression format being developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation.
Theora is derived from the formerly proprietary VP3 codec, released into the public domain by On2 Technologies. It is broadly comparable in design and bitrate efficiency to MPEG-4 Part 2, early versions of Windows Media Video, and RealVideo while lacking some of the features present in some of these other codecs. It is comparable in open standards philosophy to the BBC's Dirac codec.
Theora is named after Theora Jones, Edison Carter's Controller on the Max Headroom television program.
Technical details
Theora is a variable-bitrate, DCT-based video compression scheme. Like most common video codecs, Theora also uses chroma subsampling, block-based motion compensation and an 8-by-8 DCT block. Pixels are grouped into various structures, namely blocks, super blocks, and macroblocks. Theora supports intra-coded frames and forward-predictive frames, but not bi-predictive frames which are found in H.264 and VC-1. Theora also does not support interlacing, or bit-depths larger than 8 bits per component.

U Want It
by: TharaOoh Ooh
There's a storm, Thara
You should have seen the
Look upon you face
As I waved high
Had your hands moving all
Around the place
Up and down her thighs
Guess you weren't expecting me
See that was always out of my place
Now it's time for me to
Find another man
You say you want it, you need it
Although you had it, I'm leaving
Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh
Now your sitting there all by yourself
I don't need you, don't want you
Look in your eyes
And I see through uh oh uh oh
And you'll never see this ass again
Never thought that we
Would end like this
Or say goodbye
I know that you'll come back to me
Cause you miss my smile
Finally see, how you are treating me
So now your on your own
You say you want it, you need it
Although you had it, I'm leaving
Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh
Now your sitting there all by yourself
I don't need you, don't want you
Look in your eyes
And I see through uh oh uh oh
And you'll never see this ass again
[Rap:]
You say you want it, you need it
Although you had it, I'm leaving
Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh
Now your sitting there all by yourself
I don't need you, don't want you
Look in your eyes
And I see through uh oh uh oh
And you'll never see this ass again
