...ween audio and video files: using a different file extension. At the same time this would solve issues like the filtering for file type in P2P networks as has already be mentioned on this mailing list. .ogg should probably be kept for audio, since it is already pretty well known. So one could use .oggv or .ogv or something like that for video files (theora, tarkin, and whatever else will come). In my opinion, that would be the reasonable thing to do. And another opinion about using the codec name for the extension: I think .theora, .vorbis, etc. would simply be too confusing for the user. Joe Av...

...can't turn quality below -1 in managed mode, I've tried playing with the maximum, nominal, and minimum bitrates in managed mode. Unfortunately, if the rates go below the numbers you see above, ices crashes. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or have I just hit some hard limit with the oggv compressor? Many thanks in advance. Best, Peter

Hello everyone, As discussed on last Monthly Meeting, Monty settled on recommending the extension .v+ogg for Theora files IF it would work on Linux. Probably many have tested it already, but I haven't seen anything said publically, so for the record, v+ogg works on both Windows and Linux. Hadn't a chance to test it on Mac OS X, but I'm sure it should work there too. And Plan 9 :)

So it will be line input audio sine wave into the soundcard, and then use the default VBR to encode the stream to OggV and stream that up to the icecast server?

As Mohamed already pointed out it all depdends on what is before your encoder and is not strongly related to icecast. If you are encoding from an anlog source (without some post processing on your system) your stream will likely drop in used *bitrat...

If there is no sound input on the client audio stream being sent to the icecast server does this mean there is no bandwidth being used - or does icecast use bandwidth even for times when there is no sound on the client input end?

[snip] What if, at least for Windows, someone wrote a simple application which when associated with .ogg files and an .ogg file was opened simply read enough of the ogg stream to identify the type of content and then

Alright folks, here's the solution. 1) Keep extensions to 3 letters for audio & video. Except for special situations where the user might be doing a codec specific name. Since the official extensions are 3 letters, those can always be used on any 8.3 device. 2) introduce a new extension .OGV for ogg container video. With a strong preference for Xiph only codecs.
