VP6Advanced

VP6Advanced is a proprietary video compression codec developed by On2 Technologies. It is an advanced iteration of the VP6 codec, designed to offer improved compression efficiency and video quality. VP6Advanced was primarily used for online video streaming, particularly in Flash Player applications and various web video players. Key features include enhanced entropy coding and motion estimation techniques compared to its predecessors. The codec supports a wide range of resolutions and frame rates, making it versatile for different video content. While On2 Technologies was acquired by Google in 2010, the specific VP6Advanced codec did not see significant continued development or widespread adoption as a standalone product after the acquisition, with Google focusing its efforts on other video codecs like VP8 and VP9. However, it played a role in the evolution of web video delivery during its active development period.
