Where to Find Official Information About On2 Technologies Now

Updated

On2.com is the historical website for On2 Technologies, and it is not an active product or support destination. The page states that Google acquired On2 Technologies and its video products and technology in February 2010, and that the Flix product line—Flix Pro, Flix Standard, Flix Exporter, Flix PowerPlayers, Flix Live, Flix DirectShow SDK, Flix Publisher, and Flix Engine—is no longer for sale. The only current ownership signal on the page is the copyright line: “Copyright 2010 Google Inc. All Rights Reserved.”

What the official page tells you

Question What on2.com shows
Who owns On2 now? Google acquired On2 Technologies and its video products and technology in February 2010.
Can I buy Flix Pro or Flix Standard? No. The page says the Flix products are no longer for sale.
Is there product support or downloads? The page provides no active sales, support, or download links for the Flix products.
Is this a current corporate site? No. It functions as a historical notice, with a 2010 Google copyright.

If you arrived looking for Flix software

The page is explicit that the Flix family is discontinued for sale. That covers the editing and encoding tools (Flix Pro, Flix Standard, Flix Exporter), playback components (Flix PowerPlayers), streaming tools (Flix Live), and developer components (Flix DirectShow SDK, Flix Publisher, Flix Engine). Because the notice gives no replacement product, trial, or migration path, don’t expect to complete a purchase or download from on2.com.

For practical purposes, treat any Flix license or installer question as a legacy-software question rather than a current vendor purchase. If you need to confirm whether a specific Flix product is affected, the page’s list is the authoritative scope: all eight named products are included in the “no longer for sale” statement.

What to use instead

  • For the acquisition history: the on2.com notice itself is the primary statement that Google acquired On2 in February 2010.
  • For current video technology: the page points to Google as the owner of On2’s video products and technology, so Google’s own properties are the appropriate place to look for present-day offerings. The notice does not name a specific Google product page.
  • For legacy Flix documentation: the page offers no archive, knowledge base, or support channel, so plan on third-party archives or existing licenses rather than an official download.

Common points of confusion

  • “Is on2.com still On2’s site?” It is On2’s historical site, but the content is a post-acquisition notice under Google’s copyright.
  • “Can I still get a quote or trial?” The page lists no pricing, payment, or trial information, and states the products are no longer for sale—so there is no basis for expecting a current purchase path.
  • “Does the site list a successor product?” No. It identifies Google as the acquirer but does not map Flix products to replacements.

The short version: use on2.com to confirm the 2010 Google acquisition and the discontinuation of the Flix line, then look to Google’s current properties for anything active.
