Vorbis

2006-03-05T09:26:20Z

ShaneCavanaugh: /* More information */ +VorbisSoftwareEncoders

'''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.

libvorbis, a BSD-licensed source implementation of Vorbis as a library is available; See the [http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/ Ogg Vorbis page] for documentation, downloads and distribution terms.

Further, many players support Ogg Vorbis; see [http://www.vorbis.com/ vorbis.com] for a list of all the players we know about.

* [[Games that use Vorbis]]: List of games using Ogg Vorbis

* [[VorbisSoftwarePlayers]]: List of media players that can play Ogg Vorbis
