Bug Description
Theora 1.1 is a major quality/stability improvement over 1.0, and essential for making the FLOSS ecosystem work better. More information about the new release at http://
1.1 is should be of little risk and offer much better video quality, and stability of bitrate / file sizes for those encoding videos to this free format. 1.0 is essentially broken in being able to deliver the wanted file size. Decoding wise the bit stream format of Theora has been stable already for years, so there is no risk involved in the playback part.
1.1.1-1 is now in Debian - http://
Theora 1.1 has been tested both via earlier PPA in this bug report's comments and by building manually from Debian the Debian sources. It has been successfully built for all official archs in Debian.

I think it's a great idea, this should be done. New release brings much improved quality to encoder and huge speed up to decoder.
