Huge win today:

"1. *Google will be releasing VP8 under an open source and royalty-free
basis.* VP8 is a high-quality video codec that Google acquired when they
purchased the company On2 <http://www.on2.com>. The VP8 codec represents
a vast improvement in quality-per-bit over Theora and is comparable in
quality to H.264."
