Ogg-Vorbis file format - when is it coming? -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Ogg-Vorbis file format - when is it coming? Posted by: AlienFarms Date:11/23/2000 7:30:00 PM I know this is a user forum, but I hope to generate some interest in this format so that it will be added in future updates and versions. The Ogg-Vorbis format (.ogg), is going to be the next big movement in audio compression since .mp3 came along. While it doesn't compress the audio any smaller than .mp3, it should provide better audio quality at the same bitrate and it is designed for internet streaming. In addition, the Ogg- Vorbis format is open source, and patent and license free. You will never have to pay a fee for selling music .ogg encoded. The .mp3 format patent holders want to start charging for using their format. Sonic Foundry's Siren Jukebox 2.0 already supports the format, so when will I be able to save my audio projects in .ogg without buying Siren?

Reply by: Rednroll Date:11/24/2000 11:31:00 AM Hmmmm....I was wondering how you know that .ogg will be "the next big movement in audio compression", seeing that this is something that is usually dictated by the consumer response, what makes you so certain? Sonic Foundry, just created their own compression format, which they claim has virtually no loss, so who's to say that won't be the next format?
