darklite quotes Benjamin Lebsanft: Our goal is it to convince hardware manufacturers to include ogg vorbis support in their products. Ogg Vorbis is a high quality audio codec which is patent free!. Sign the petition
Ogg Vorbis is a fully Open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality (8kHz-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. This places Vorbis in the same competetive class as audio representations such as MPEG-4 (AAC), and similar to, but higher performance than MPEG-1/2 audio layer 3, MPEG-4 audio (TwinVQ), WMA and PAC.
Vorbis is the first of a planned family of Ogg multimedia coding formats being developed as part of Xiphophorus's Ogg multimedia project.

Vorbis Hardware Petition : Comment 1 of 8 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christian Kemp on 22-Mar-2002 09:57 GMT | This might not relate to the Amiga too much, but I guess it is an important topic nevertheless, since we've clearly seen enough companies abuse the market because of the patents they hold and the dominance these patents afford(ed) them.
The only bad thing is that I would hate to migrate my entire MP3 collection over to a different standard :)
That, and ever since my own "UnitedOS" petition way back in time (1997?), I don't believe in petitions too much anymore. |
