<hr />
<div>'''Vorbis''' is a patent-clear, fully open general purpose audio encoding format standard that rivals or surpasses the 'upcoming' generation of proprietary coders ([[Wikipedia:Advanced Audio Coding|AAC]] and [[Wikipedia:TwinVQ|TwinVQ]], also known as VQF). Vorbis is most often used in the [[Ogg]] container format. It is then called Ogg Vorbis.<br />
<br />
libvorbis, a BSD-licensed source implementation of Vorbis as a library is available; See the [http://xiph.org/vorbis/ Ogg Vorbis page] for documentation, downloads and distribution terms.<br />
<br />
Further, many players support Ogg Vorbis; see [http://www.vorbis.com/ vorbis.com] for a list of all the players we know about.<br />

<div>== Vorbis-OptSort ==<br />
[http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Dungeon/6809/vorbis-optsort-en.html Vorbis-OptSort] improves source code of the Vorbis codec library (libvorbis-1.2.0) to accelerate encoding time about 10%.<br />
<br />
== AoTuV ==<br />
[http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/ aoTuV encoders] are optimized encoders for higher quality.<br />
* aoTuV beta2 was adopted as a part of Vorbis 1.1 of Xiph.Org (quality wise all versions of official libraries from 1.1 up to 1.2.1 are the same of aoTuV beta2).<br />
* aoTuV beta4 improved quality at all bitrates (versus xiph.org 1.1.2) and can also go down to 32 Kb/s (q-2). Note that this patch also include the [http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Dungeon/6809/vorbis-optsort-en.html Vorbis-OptSort] patch.<br />
* The latest release is aoTuV beta5.7.<br />
* The latest stable release is Release 1 (AKA aoTuV beta 4.51), which improves quality at q < 3 (versus aoTuV beta4).<br />

** libvorbis 1.1.1 ABR vs libvorbis 1.1.1 VBR vs aoTuV beta4 VBR summary:<br />
:: http://audiotests.free.fr/tests/2005.07/80/80TEST_PLOTS_04.png<br />
<br />
" on group1, all encoders are tied (although aoTuV is better than 1.1.1<br />
with 90% confidence). It’s a disappointment for me, because I’ve seriously<br />
expected from aoTuV to reduce the level of coarseness/fatness on this specific<br />
musical genre. However, slight improvements were often perceptible – it’s<br />
better than nothing. With some samples, a slight regression was also perceptible:<br />
additional distortion or apparently restrictive lowpass (noticed with harpsichord).<br />
Interesting to note that ABR doesn’t perform badly, except on critical samples<br />
(bitrate stayed at ~85 kbps when VBR encodings reached 160!); ABR also sounded a<br />
bit better with some samples (tonal one). Good point to ABR (just note that encoding<br />
speed is dramatically slow compared to VBR).<br />
on group 2, differences are much more defined. ABR appeared as clearly worse than<br />
VBR and aoTuV beta 4 outdid 1.1.1 on VBR mode. Obviously, the changes Aoyumi made on<br />
vorbis are much more effective on various music.<br />
on average, aoTuV beta 4 was better than 1.1.1 (not a surprise I would say)."<br />
<br />
"Vorbis (aoTuV beta 4, VBR –q 0,9): this is by far the most<br />
enjoying thing I’ve heard at this bitrate. I was highly surprised<br />
by results I’ve got with the 150 classical samples; I was literally<br />
astonished by the final score obtained with the 35 remaining samples!<br />
Vorbis is obviously an amazing tool at this bitrate." guruboolez<br />

: Comment on AoTuV beta 4:<br />
"Vorbis: Vorbis is now –thanks to Aoyumi– an excellent audio format for 180<br />
kbps encodings (and classical music). It has apparently no flaws (lowest note<br />
was 3.5) but only minor problems audible from time to time: additional noise,<br />
fatness, or softened details. One third of the tested samples are transparent<br />
to my ears with aoTuV encodings. My own limits are close to be reached."<br />
guruboolez<br />
<br />
"Vorbis: Vorbis is now impressive. Last year constant noise boost or coarseness<br />
spoiled the performance of this format. I was surprised to hear those problems<br />
on –q6,00 setting supposed to be free of them due to lossless coupling. Aoyumi has<br />
apparently identifies precisely the cause of this problem and he worked to solve it.<br />
Not entirely though: some remaining trails are still audible with few samples but<br />
the intensity is now really frail (at least on the tested samples). Other artifacts<br />
are also corrected: micro-attacks on Orion_II (sample 09) are now much less dusty<br />
(aoTuV performed even better than any other tested format at this bitrate!). Performance<br />
are remarkable and the slightly gain in bitrate consumption is the icing on the cake.<br />
Just a question: Does aoTuV mean Tuned for Victory? Or Tuned by Visitors? From what<br />
planet is Aoyumi coming from? By the way, I wouldn’t say anymore than Vorbis is not<br />
mature enough. At least not for classical, which appeared to be a weak point for this format"<br />

== Optimized Ogg Vorbis Encoders ==<br />
These encoders are highly optimized encoders developed by the Ogg Vorbis Acceleration Project that are much faster than the standard builds with negligible to no effects on audio quality.<br />

<br />
== Vorbis-Java ==<br />
[http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/vorbis-java/ vorbis-java] is a native Java port of the Vorbis encoding library. It currently only supports 2 channel, 44100 hz audio input and only outputs .ogg files encoded at Variable Bit Rate.<br><br />
vorbis-java is currently a '''beta''' release ported from libogg-1.1.3, libvorbis-1.1.2 and a very infant port of libshout-2.2.2 for streaming.<br><br />
<br />
==FFVorbis==<br />
[http://www.ffmpeg.org/ FFmpeg] contains an independent Vorbis encoder implementation (see [http://www.ffmpeg.org/general.html#SEC7 FFmpeg audio codecs], often called FFVorbis), but it's [http://xiphmont.livejournal.com/51160.html considered broken]. So, unless you have a special reason to use it, make sure to use the ffmpeg command line option '''-acodec libvorbis''' (= Xiph Libvorbis) when encoding, rather than -acodec vorbis (= FFVorbis) which is also often the default one.<br />

<div>'''Vorbis''' is a patent-clear, fully open general purpose audio encoding format standard that rivals or surpasses the 'upcoming' generation of proprietary coders ([[Wikipedia:Advanced Audio Coding|AAC]] and [[Wikipedia:TwinVQ|TwinVQ]], also known as VQF). Vorbis is most often used in the [[Ogg]] container format. It is then called Ogg Vorbis.<br />
<br />
libvorbis, a BSD-licensed source implementation of Vorbis as a library is available; See the [http://xiph.org/vorbis/ Ogg Vorbis page] for documentation, downloads and distribution terms.<br />
<br />
Further, many players support Ogg Vorbis; see [http://www.vorbis.com/ vorbis.com] for a list of all the players we know about.<br />
