Vorbis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vorbis is an open and free lossy audio compression (codec) project headed by the Xiph.org Foundation. Although the Vorbis format is often simply referred to as Ogg, this is technically incorrect as Ogg, like AVI or Matroska, is a container format while Vorbis is an audio codec. Since the Vorbis libraries are available under a BSD licence (a free software approved licence) and the format itself is accepted as not covered by patents, several video game developers[5] have chosen to use Vorbis in their games rather than pay for patent-encumbered competitors like MP3. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vorbis   (2297 words)

Ogg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Files ending in the.ogg extension may be of any Ogg media filetype, and because the format is free, Ogg's various codecs have been incorporated into a number of different free and commercial media players. The term "ogg" often refers to the audio file format Ogg Vorbis, that is, Vorbis-encoded audio in an Ogg container. Vorbis: handles general audio data at mid- to high-level bitrates (~16-256 kbit/s/channel) en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ogg   (1360 words)

Vorbis.com: FAQ Vorbis' standardized, easily-edited comment header provides a space for you to scribble all sorts of notes about yourself to distribute with the music; this helps fans find you, your site, and where to buy your stuff. Vorbis is patent and license-free, so you will never need to pay anyone in order to sell, give away, or stream your own music. Vorbis also tends to have a latency that is too high for telephony, a common use of speech codecs. www.vorbis.com /faq   (2565 words)

MediaCoder Audio Video Glossary Vorbis is an open and free audio compression (codec) project from the Xiph.org Foundation. Vorbis is considered to be one of the highest quality audio codecs in use today. Since the Vorbis libraries are available under a BSD licence (a free software approved licence) and the format itself is accepted as not covered by patents, several video game developers [2] have chosen to use Vorbis in their games rather than pay for patent-encumbered competitors like MP3. mediacoder.sourceforge.net /glossary/vorbis.htm   (1901 words)

An Introduction to Compressed Audio with Ogg Vorbis Using sophisticated techniques such as these, lossy audio compression formats such as Ogg Vorbis and mp3 can achieve results which are provably indistinguishable from the original, CD-quality sound but are a mere 10 to 20% of the size. In fact, the Ogg Vorbis format encoders don't normally consider bitrate at all (the default mode of operation is VBR), instead using a "quality" rating, which ranges from -1 to 10 in increments of 0.01 or so. Ogg Vorbis files also potentially support "bitrate peeling", which means you could produce a lower bitrate file from a higher bitrate file without re-encoding and at the same quality as if you'd encoded the file directly into the lower bitrate from the original file. grahammitchell.com /writings/vorbis_intro.html   (4653 words)

Ogg Vorbis - Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase Ogg Vorbis (www.vorbis.com) is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-free (subject to speculation), and royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality (8khz-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, multichannel) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to >256 kbps/channel. Vorbis is the first of a planned family of Ogg multimedia coding formats being developed as part of Xiph.org's ogg multimedia project. Vorbis has had success with many recent video game titles employing Vorbis as opposed to MP3 (with Epic Games' Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Tournament 2004, the PC port of Microsoft's Halo and Uru being notable examples). wiki.hydrogenaudio.org /index.php?title=Ogg_Vorbis   (988 words)

Recommended Encoder Versions and Settings - Hydrogenaudio Forums It is used to analyse your Ogg Vorbis files and add replaygain tags to the Vorbis comment which instructs the decoder to normalise the loudness. Though you can use the Vorbis DLLs designed especially for Vorbis encoding in CDex, it may be more advantageous to use the oggenc executable as an external encoder (for example, to take advantage of tag padding in oggenc2.3).

Results: Musepack is tied to Lame MP3, which is tied to Vorbis aoTuV, which is tied to iTunes AAC, which is tied to WMA Std, which is tied to Atrac3. Vorbis aoTuV is tied to Musepack at first place, Lame MP3 is tied to iTunes AAC at second place, WMA Standard is in third place and Atrac3 gets last place. www.rjamorim.com /test/multiformat128/results.html   (819 words)

PortablePlayers - XiphWiki Early U2 releases required a firmware upgrade for Vorbis support; as of September 2005 this support was included in the retail version. There have been reports that the Ogg Vorbis support in the YP-T6 is buggy. Ogg Vorbis is supported only through latest beta firmwares, still some bitrate restriction which may vary depending on the model (min=96kbps, max=160kbps). wiki.xiph.org /index.php/PortablePlayers   (4025 words)

Ogg Vorbis--Open, Free Audio--Set Your Media Free | Linux Journal Vorbis is the only codec we've written so far, but not the only one we plan to write. Vorbis has superior sound quality, which is what one would expect from a next-generation audio codec.

Interview: Christopher Montgomery of Xiphophorus Vorbis is [approximately] the sixth generation of Ogg and the first CODECs that I feel is ready to go forth and do battle in the streaming arena. Vorbis is our first CODEC (for lossy audio streaming), but we'll continue into video and lossless audio, as well as 'metacontent', etc. I'll be working on voice modes for Vorbis, but Vorbis is not a classical speech codec, and as such, will never likely be as good as a compression designed specifically for speech. www.advogato.org /article/56.html   (4288 words)

Ogg Vorbis official release is here | CNET News.com Ogg Vorbis is completely royalty-free, meaning companies can incorporate the technology into their software without cost.

Ogg Vorbis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Like all the other competing formats, Ogg Vorbis claims smaller file sizes for equal sound than MP3s, but this has been mostly answered with the release of MP3Pro that has enjoyed significant acceptance since its release in June. With the MP3 format so firmly entrenched, and Microsoft putting all its muscle to see that their WMA is at least number two, many wonder how successful Ogg Vorbis will be at getting users and hardware manufacturers to adopt its format across the board.
