'''Theora'''是一個免權利金、開放格式的[[破壞性資料壓縮|有損]][[影像壓縮]]技術，由[[Xiph.Org基金會]]開發，該基金會還開發了著名的聲音編碼技術[[Vorbis]]，以及多媒體容器檔案格式[[Ogg]]。'''libtheora'''則是Xiph.Org基金會針對Theora格式的實作<ref name="libtheora-xiph">{{cite web | last= | first= | author=Xiph.Org基金會 | authorlink= | title=libtheora Documentation 1.1.0 | url=http://theora.org/doc/libtheora-1.1/ | format= | accessdate=25 September 2009 | date= | publisher=Xiph.Org基金會 | archive-date=2018-06-24 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180624130203/https://www.theora.org/doc/libtheora-1.1/ | dead-url=no }}</ref><ref name="libtheora-ohloh">{{cite web | last= | first= | author=ohloh | authorlink= | title=libtheora | url=http://www.ohloh.net/p/libtheora | format= | accessdate=25 September 2009 | date= | publisher=ohloh | archive-date=2010-10-10 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101010075905/http://www.ohloh.net/p/libtheora | dead-url=no }}</ref>。

Theora是由[[On2 Technologies]]公司專屬的[[VP3]]編碼器，經過開放原始碼後衍生而來，目標是達成比[[MPEG-4|MPEG-4 Part 2]]更好的編碼效率。Theora的命名來自於一個電視節目Max Headroom中的角色：Theora Jones<ref>{{cite website| publisher = Xiph.Org基金會| title = Theora FAQ| url = http://theora.org/faq/#15| accessdate = 2009-08-06| archive-date = 2018-06-24| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180624130008/https://www.theora.org/faq/#15| dead-url = no}}</ref>。

=== 開發緣起 ===
Theora的前身是由On2 Technologies所開發的專屬影像編碼格式''On2 TrueMotion VP3''，VP3.1在2000年5月推出，三個月後推出的VP3.2則成為了Theora的基礎<ref>{{cite press release

=== 轉變為自由軟體 ===
2002年3月，On2將VP3原始碼的許可認證更改為[[LGPL]]<ref>The Free Library（2002-03-28）[http://www.thefreelibrary.com/On2+Alters+Licensing+Terms+for+VP3%3b+Company+Responds+to+Open+Source...-a084233138 On2 Alters Licensing Terms for VP3; Company Responds to Open Source Community Demands.] {{Wayback|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/On2+Alters+Licensing+Terms+for+VP3%3b+Company+Responds+to+Open+Source...-a084233138 |date=20101204092727 }}, Retrieved on 2009-08-16</ref>；同年6月，On2將VP3以BSD-like的許可認證方式捐贈給Xiph.Org基金會<ref>On2（2002-06-24）[http://www.on2.com/index.php?id=486&news_id=313 VP3 Combines with Vorbis to Create First Open-Source Multimedia Platform] {{Wayback|url=http://www.on2.com/index.php?id=486&news_id=313 |date=20071203061350 }}, Retrieved on 2009-08-16</ref><ref>{{cite |url=http://www.on2.com/index.php?id=486&news_id=313 |title=VP3 Combines with Vorbis to Create First Open-Source Multimedia Platform（archived website） |author=On2 |date=2002-06-24 |accessdate=2010-08-23 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071203061350/http://www.on2.com/index.php?id=486&news_id=313 |archivedate=2007-12-03 }}</ref><ref name="linux-com-ogg">Linux.com（2002-06-23）[http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/23630?tid=6 Ogg Vorbis, VP3 combining forces to create Open Source multimedia package], Retrieved on 2009-08-16</ref><ref>InternetNews.com（2002-06-24）[http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/1370341 On2 Throws More Open-Source at MPEG-4] {{Wayback|url=http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/1370341 |date=20110604093151 }}, Retrieved on 2009-08-16</ref>，並且放棄VP3包含的智慧財產，允使任何人將VP3編碼作更動、衍生<ref name="theora-license">Xiph.org [http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/theora/LICENSE libtheora license (Subversion - Trunk)] {{Wayback|url=http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/theora/LICENSE |date=20100207211310 }}, Retrieved on 2009-08-16</ref><ref name="vp32-license">Xiph.org [http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/vp32/LICENSE VP32 codec license (Subversion - Trunk)] {{Wayback|url=http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/vp32/LICENSE |date=20091003043553 }}, Retrieved on 2009-08-16</ref>。

2002年8月，On2宣佈和Xiph.Org基金會達成-{zh-hant:協議; zh-hans:协议}-，將會以VP3編碼器為基礎，製作一個新的影音編碼格式：Theora。On2認可Theora為VP3的後繼者，在2002年10月3日，On2和Xiph.Org基金會共同完成了Theora的實作：libtheora的最初版本，2003年6月9日，完成了Alpha 2版本<ref name="libtheora-alpha2">{{cite mailing list | url = http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/theora-dev/2003-June/000623.html | title = libtheora alpha 2 release | mailinglist = theora-dev | date = 9 June 2003 | last = Giles | first = Ralph | authorlink = | accessdate = 26 September 2009 | archive-date = 2011-09-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110927161649/http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/theora-dev/2003-June/000623.html | dead-url = no }}</ref>；2004年3月20日推出了Alpha 3版本<ref name="libtheora-alpha3">{{cite mailing list | url = http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/theora-dev/2004-March/000950.html | title = libtheora alpha 3 release | mailinglist = theora-dev | date = 19 March 2004 | last = Giles | first = Ralph | authorlink = | accessdate = 26 September 2009 | archive-date = 2011-09-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110927161741/http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/theora-dev/2004-March/000950.html | dead-url = no }}</ref>。

在VP3開放原始碼時，並沒有針對VP3的位元流格式做規範，2003年，Mike Melanson建立了一個不完整的VP3位元流描述，而後在Theora的規範中採用了部份VP3的位元流描述。<ref name="theoraspec" /><ref name="vp3-bitstream">{{cite

Theora I位元流格式最終在2004年6月libtheora 1.0alpha3版本釋出後確立<ref name="theora-freeze"/>，之後只要用libtheora編碼的影像都能夠正確無誤的播放<ref name="theora-freeze" /><ref name="theora-news">{{cite | title = Theora.org : news | date = 24 September 2009 | author = Xiph.Org基金會 | publisher = Xiph.Org基金會 | url = http://theora.org/news/ | accessdate = 25 September 2009 | archive-date = 2010-10-10 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101010214814/http://theora.org/news/ | dead-url = yes }}</ref>，最終''Theora I規格''在2004年正式推出<ref name="theoraspec-2004">{{Cite web | last= | first= | author=Xiph.Org基金會 | authorlink= | title=Theora I Specification, Xiph.org基金會, September 17, 2004 | url=http://www.theora.org/doc/Theora_I_spec.pdf | format=PDF | accessdate=26 September 2009 | date=17 September 2004 | publisher=Archive.org | postscript= | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20040928224506/http://www.theora.org/doc/Theora_I_spec.pdf | archivedate=2004年9月28日 }}</ref>。

Theora影像的實作libtheora花了數年的時間在測試版狀態，最終正式版1.0版本在2008年11月釋出<ref>{{cite mailing list | url =

隨著Theora逐漸成熟，使用Theora編碼的軟體也逐漸增加，例如維基百科就以Theora作為影片的編碼格式。Theora也曾經被確認為HTML5影像編碼的標準格式，但是在一些爭論之後被撤銷<ref>{{cite web | last = McLean | first = Prince | title = Ogg Theora, H.264 and the HTML 5 Browser Squabble | publisher = RoughlyDrafted Magazine | date = 6 July 2009 | url = http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2009/07/06/ogg-theora-h-264-and-the-html-5-browser-squabble/ | accessdate =2010-02-14| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20101203202243/http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2009/07/06/ogg-theora-h-264-and-the-html-5-browser-squabble/ | archive-date = 2010-12-03 | dead-url = yes }}</ref>。

== 技術細節 ==
Theora是一個[[可變位元速率|變動位元率]]、以[[DCT]]為基礎的影像壓縮格式。和多數的影像編碼格式一樣，Theora使用了[[色度抽樣]]、block based motion compensation和8×8 DCT block，也支援[[intra-coded frames（I-frames）|視訊壓縮圖像類型]]和[[forward predictive frames（P-frames）|視訊壓縮圖像類型]]，但是不支援使用在[[H.264]]和[[VC-1]]的[[視訊壓縮圖像類型|bi-predictive frames（B-frame）]]，Theora也不支援[[隔行掃描]]、可变帧率，或8位以上原色色深。<ref name="theoraspec">{{cite website

}}</ref>。

Theora的影像流可以儲存在任何的容器檔案格式中，最常用的是和聲音編碼[[Vorbis]]一起儲存在[[Ogg]]檔案格式中，這種方式可以提供完全開放、免權利金的多媒體檔案。此外Theora影像也可以儲存在[[Matroska]]檔案中<ref>{{cite web | publisher = Matroska | title = Matroska Codec Specs | url = http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html | accessdate = 2009-08-06 | archive-date = 2009-08-31 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090831164352/http://www.matroska.org/technical/specs/codecid/index.html | dead-url = no }}</ref>。
