[Rant] Vorbis Hardware Petition | ANN.lu |
Posted on 22-Mar-2002 10:44 GMT by Christian Kemp | 8 comments View flat View list |
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.

That's what I thought... and it's not really a 'provocative' item ;)
Anyway, is there an ogg player for AmigaOS?

>don't believe in petitions too much anymore.
I never heard about that :/ Please elaborate. |
