changes from the original Ogg as the basic design is the same.


== Transport Changes ==
As of today, transOgg exists only in the form of the whitepapers and structure proposals here.  This spec is only in the very early stages of being written.  No code exists as yet.

low-level transport as a stream.  Unlike the original Ogg, transOgg
metadata is mandatory and necessary for stream operation.  Metadata
uses stream ID 0 in all links.  All other stream IDs must be unique to
the complete stream.


=== Structural metadata ===
* transOgg metadata begins and ends every stream.  Metadata is mandatory, fully specified, and part of 'container knowledge'.
** A transOgg stream must begin with the master metadata header.  This master header is the first page[s] of the physical transOgg bitstream as well as the logical master metadata stream.
** The metadata stream is a discontinuous stream that may  provide additional timed metadata and events throughout the stream,  similar to NUT 'info packets'.
** A transOgg stream must end with metadata footer page[s] that provide, among other things, reverse linkage to the beginning of the stream.

This is the essential metadata required for operation of the

transOgg's mux layer.  As in the original Ogg, no metadata is required
to capture, parse and recover packets from the page stream, however
structural metadata is required to interpret many of the values
contained in the page.  This data exists in the form of a
header/footer pair and is mandatory.


* Per-stream metadata, such as timing, sync/order flags, codec flags, etc.
* Structural codec metadata, such as timebase, keyframing, coding delay, page duration, etc, are replicated in the transOgg container. Unlike Ogg (and to a lesser degree Matroska), no knowledge must be queried or assumed based on the specific codecs in use inorder to mux, demux, remux, repaginate, transmux, or seek in a bitstream.
* Mandatory stream-global information (enumeration of codecs)
* Per-stream codec setup information (codec headers)
* seeking index (optional)
* Chaining linkage


=== Semantic metadata ===
* As in NUT, all streams have their own rational timebase.  The encoding used is a parameterized generalization of Ogg granule positions. The granule timebase and parameters are fully specified and declared in the container. The granule mechanism is capable of exact sample positioning without approximation, expressing PTS and DTS of out-of-order encodings, preroll/delay of keyframe-lesscodecs, and distance from last syncpoint.


This is metadata used to properly present or semantically augment the

What is transOgg?

For a long time there have been discussions of what we in Xiph would change in the Ogg container once we considered it appropriate to break spec. transOgg is an updated Ogg container (ie Ogg v 2) that makes some changes to the Ogg transport layer and more directly tackles metadata. transOgg: Changes from Ogg summarizes the major changes from the original Ogg container design. This page presents an overview of nebulous transOgg design points and rationale.

As of today, transOgg exists only in the form of the whitepapers and structure proposals here. This spec is only in the very early stages of being written. No code exists as yet.

High level design

The high level transOgg design consists of a transport, metadata, and specified practices. These pieces are conceptually seperable, but the container cannot succeed missing any one.

Transport

Transport is the mechanism of encapsulating and delivering data. transOgg uses a modified/updated Ogg page mechanism for data and metadata delivery.

Transport benefits from a simple, fixed encoding. Optional features, arbitrary extensibility, recursive or non-flat heirarchy, and conditional semantic encoding are undesirable complications in a low level transport and should be used only when clearly advantageous or unavoidable. Specifying transport as a self-contained layer also seperates correct transport behavior and corner cases from the rest of the container behavior.

Raw A/V media is fundamentally time-linear in atomic form. Networks and storage media deliver data for consumption in a time-linear stream of bytes. Both suggest that a linear encoding is optimal for the low-level encapsulation. Metadata can build non-linear presentation from linear segments. Nonlinear structural metadata appears at the beginning and end of the stream; as such, this metadata can also be placed in the linear transport easily as the beginning and end of data. Encapsulating metadata in the transport like the streaming data also makes it trivial to support streamed metadata and 'rolling headers' using preexisting transport mechanisms. (*-- discuss both chaining and multi-segment; metadata that can reach across segments? etc?)

Metadata

Metadata is everything in a stream/file that is not the media stream itself. transOgg proposes use a packed encoding for metadata types unlikely to see much flux, and an extensibly-structured encoding for more free-form types (eg, Matroska-style metadata in an EBML encoding for stream tagging).

Metadata encompasses a number of semantically quite different concepts, eg:

  • 1: data about how the individual streams are encoded and encapsulated (codec id, timebase, continuous/discontinuous encoding, codec private data, etc). This metadata is essential to base container operation and must function as container knowledge. It is always located in a fixed position at the beginning of the file as it must be read to bootstrap container operation.
  • 2: data about navigating the file as it's currently arranged (linkages, indexing, chapters). This data is either essential to high-level container operation or essential to the application depending on how the implementation abstractions work out.
  • 3: data about how the streams are presented for playback (langauge, primary angle, available soundtrack languages, menus). This data is needed by the application.
  • 4: user-supplied comments, one-shot auxiliary data (tags, album art). This data is needed by the application and the user.

Each kind of metadata shares some basic traits. It is heirarchical, largely conditional, and benefits from a rich stable of optional elements to be used as appropraite. It is also likely that aside from the MUST elements required for playback (mostly from list 1), not all metadata will be interesting to all players. An obvious use case is a memory and CPU constrained mobile device with no bitmapped display which would want to entirely ignore/skip large album art chunks.

Specified practices

Specified practices provide the instruction manual for proper use of the container system in all cases where the container structure allows multiple behavioral or encoding possibilities. 'best practices' is a more common term, however 'best' connotes that such guidelines are merely suggestive. Specified practices are effectively MUST clauses that govern proper behavior rather than valid data.

Specified practices are an especially weak point of current FOSS container offerings. Developers of open projects often value a system that offers many equivalent ways of performing a task, and leave it to higher-level developers (or worse, the user) to somehow make an informed decision of how to proceed. In the container space, this is undesirable bordering on disaster; 'more' is 'less'.

To choose an absurd example, it might be technologically nifty to be able to place an index into the middle of a file, but what could it possibly accomplish? Absurd flexibility results in absurd bugs. When absurd or clearly suboptimal choices are structurally possible, the spec should not be silent on the subject. The spec MUST explicitly address allowed and disallowed behavior to the most complete degree achievable.

Proposals / Commentary Requested

transOgg is a specification in the early stages of design. As such, we're soliciting feedback on specific design proposals below, with more to be added over time as the design process approaches new milestones.
