3ivx Technologies Pty. LtdDavid McPaul, on behalf of 3ivx Technologies Pty. Ltd, has just announced on the Haiku mailing list the release of the latest version (5.02) of the 3ivx MPEG-4 ASP video decoder and encoder for the BeOS R5 platform, including an experimental 3ivx decoder for Haiku. Available on the 3ivx website, this release includes many bug fixes, frame accurate seeking, experimental support for mp4 files and aac audio, and a Haiku version of the 3ivx decoder. Haiku versions of the 3ivx decoder and aac decoder are expected to be supported in the future, and a Haiku-specific 3ivx encoder will be released once encoding support is added to the Haiku Media Kit. This is an exciting development, and hopefully just the beginning of a bright future for Haiku in the area of media format support.

Just great to see that interest is rising in BeOs/HAIKU.

It shows that there is believe in the future of HAIKU.

What about this talkback post in 3ivx's BeBits page?

The link on BeBits will take you to the 3ivx site and that has the latest version.

I cannot update the BeBits entry as I didn't create it. Hopefully 3ivx still has the password.
