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 6 of 8 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christian Kemp on 22-Mar-2002 12:01 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (darklite): > I never heard about that :/ Please elaborate.
I don't remember any significant details. :-/
It must have been in 1995 or 1996 when Amiga was heading, once more, in multiple directions (as far as I remember, Phase5's PowerUp being one of them) that I created a web page to try and get the various companies to realize how much of a problem they were causing by fragmenting the market.
There must have been around a thousand signatures, not bad considering this was in the very early days of Amiga presence on the Internet (I was still connecting with AmiTCP at that time).
I'm not sure if I have the page backed up somewhere. |
