* High-level summary:
** Low delay / relatime communication / collaboration
* What is driving adoption?
** Got strong consensus in Vancouver IETF meeting for Opus to be Mandatory To Implement in WebRTC (currently being confirmed on the mailing list)
* Brief discussion of patent strategy:
** Risks of having a very limited knob (Xiph-owned patents) to create a very complicated effect (providing safety for implementers).
** How do you avoid patents?
*** The problems are the ones you don't know about
*** Doing things in the open, in standards bodies, has certain legal advantages that we didn't have for prior codecs

* Goals
** Have a royalty-free competitor to HEVC
** Support the Web use cases: WebRTC, streaming, etc.
*** Low resolution performance important
*** Loss robustness important
*** Rate control adaptation/control important

* Daala
** http://xiph.org/daala/
** https://git.xiph.org/daala.git
** http://wiki.xiph.org/Daala
** Testbed for codec experiments, not a real codec yet
** Trying to use lapped transforms to limit blocking artifacts, get better coding gain (textures, etc.)
** To do this, need to solve a bunch of problems:
*** Intra prediction
*** Motion compensation
*** Etc.
** Daala is the crazy experimental stuff that potentially has a high payoff, but may not work out.

* VPnext
** Google's project to provide incremental improvements to VP8
** Each addition / modification may give only 1-2% gain, but 20 or 30 of those modifications start to add up
** Already showing 25-30% gains (better gains at HD resolutions)

* Standardization: Trying to form a working group in the IETF
** Mailinsg list created: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/video-codec
** Hoping to hold a BoF at IETF 85 in Atlanta
** Hopefully a working group formed next year

* Rev of the Ogg container format to address lots of things we've learned since it was designed and much of the feedback we've received
* Early design notes: https://wiki.xiph.org/TransOgg
** There are lots of points where there's no consensus
** Please drive it
