VivoActive is an audio/video format created by Vivo Software, lately acquired by RealNetworks. It uses H.263 video and G.723 ADPCM audio. VivoActive uses inter-frame coding, but does not insert any key frames, except at the beginning of the clip, which effectively disables the possibility of seeking to specific locations in the stream. The VivoActive technology was integrated RealMedia, the .viv format was replaced by .rm (RealMedia).[citation needed]
