Specification of MIME Types and of codecs parameters
MIME Types
The following MIME types are now officially registered with IANA (well, almost, see [[1]]):
- application/ogg - for complex, multitrack, multiplexed files encapsulated in Ogg
- requires a Skeleton logical bitstream
- video/ogg - for video encapsulated in Ogg
- recommends a Skeleton logical bitstrem
- audio/ogg - for audio encapsulated in Ogg
- recommends a Skeleton logical bitstrem
Other MIME types are still in the process.
Codecs Parameter
| Typically, MIME types of media encapsulation formats use the optional "codecs" parameter to specify which codes are being used in a particular file.
Codecs encapsulated in Ogg require a text identifier at the beginning of the first header page to identify the encapsulated codecs. The following table contains the identifiers for existing Xiph codecs and the codecs parameter names used for */ogg MIME types (in alphabetical order):
| Codecs Parameter Name | Codec Identifier (decimal) | Codec Identifier (hex) | Codec Identifier (octal) | Version Field (if available) |
