Hi, I am wondering if vorbis has a standard tag for general music type. I don't mean pop, jazz, etc., but something more in line with describing the mood of the mucic. I am thinking of games which have a soundtrack in vorbis format which could use the user's own repository of .ogg files during gameplay, and use the tag to choose appropriate music for that part of the game. For

you can write your own software mixer that can decode MP3 on the PS2 so I can't see why you can't do that with ogg, however, even mp3 is processor intensive and programers are not going to give up that much processor power which will decrease or detract from the rest of the game. However, I'm sure there are some people out there that have been able to work around this. Regardless, ps1

yoo! i'm so exicted about it, i've just got a copy of James Bond 007: Nightfire! It's the name game from EA GAMES in the james bond series (just out with the new movie) The game uses ogg vorbis ! (ogg.dll vorbis.dll and other stuff :)) woooohooo!! Man i think that if everything that belnogs to EA Games will use vorbis, it means that there's gona be plenty of games which support

Folks, I saw David''s tutorial yesterday at RailsConf and started working on RSpec lastnight and am having a *ton* of trouble with the bundle for TextMate. I''ve made *some* progress, but thought I''d throw it to the list * I run ruby, including rb-rubygems using the MacPorts install (per JDD''s Sandboxing Rails) * installed rspec 0.9.4 (also rcov 0.8.0.2 and

Hi` I just subscribed to the list and already have a couple of questions ;) I read the FAQ and skimmed through the archives but I'd rather get up- to date information and not rely on what I read in old posts. Are there any games/ mods using Ogg Vorbis? Are there any other tools despite standalone music players using Ogg Vorbis? How fast is decompression? How big is the memory overhead for

>>The game companies are interested in >>Vorbis, and this is a good thing :) I am a lead programmer at a major game company (Maxis) and Vorbis is potentially very important to us. I am pushing to make it the default streaming sound format (e.g. non-sound effects) for all future titles. This assumes that it works as well as anticipated. Other subdivisions of Electronic Arts are

Hello, I'm working on a game and I want to encode all the sound files that I have (probably over a 100) with Ogg Vorbis. Most of these sound files are really small, about 3 - 6kb each. Each sound file contains a word, i.e. "cat", "bat". When I encoded some of them I noticed that the ogg file is never smaller than 4kb, even if the original wav file was less than 4kb.

I recently downloaded the Uru demo here: http://www.3dgamers.com/games/uru/ It's the 4th iteration in the Myst series. It appears that all their environmental sounds are compressed with Vorbis. When the game installs it creates a directory full of .ogg files that play just fine. While most of the sounds are footsteps and water splashes, the Southwestern-flavored guitar loop which plays

Hello, My name is Chung Hae Young, and I work for NCsoft in Seoul, Korea. I am currently working on a online game development project. I have some questions regarding Ogg Vorbis. I want to change the library source and change Ogg game music files so the file can only be played within the game. I want to know if I can modify the library. And if I modify it, will if cause any legal

Hello, I am developing a game engine which will support Ogg Vorbis playback. If I were to use LibOgg and LibVorbis, would I then have to release my own product under BSD, thus requiring anyone who created games with it to do the same and reference Xiph.org in their game's credits? While I can definitely include a license file with my library, enforcing my own end-users to do the same would be

I'm a developer for a game company and I'm almost done adding support for Vorbis to our game engine. As such, I wanted to simply plug in the read function, let it decode, and then send the PCM data on to DirectSound just like I always have. There were several occasions where I spent 4 or 5 hours trying to fix a bug, digging through newsgroups and sound-format specs, when that info could

Hi! I'm new to this list. I work at a game development company, and we are considering Ogg Vorbis for the audio in a cell phone game. Does anyone here have any figures or educated guesses on how much CPU power the decoding requires? I guess Tremor is the decoder to use, as the CPU doesn't have a floating point unit, but will it be possible to use it for playing background music in a

Hi, I'm working on making a game in VB2008, and I'm hoping to use OGG Vorbis-format music (because ogg files are tiny =D) in it. I've googled for info on doing this, but all I've found are dead links and non-free implementations... and when I tried compiling libogg ages ago on Windows, I completely failed. I've already worked out how to use DirectSound, so I really just need

Hey all, I was searching the internet and came across some code in the Vorbis repository that claims to have ported Ogg Vorbis to Symbian. I downloaded the tarball and was able to compile it on my system. So I'm new to Symbian audio programming, and even newer to Vorbis. :) Is there a quick 'n dirty API I can use to just start playing an OGG file from within my Symbian app, or do I

Just downloaded the demo. Comes with vorbis.dll and ogg.dll. Plus the music files are oggs. This is the first mainstream game use of vorbis that I've seen.

I've just gotten around to reading the IRC chat with the developers of Unreal Tournament 2003. Looks like Vorbis support is a possibility: [21:53] <Mancubus> Has the idea of a built in mp3 player been introduced? :) [21:53] <Orpheus> Mancubus, wont happen [21:53] <Orpheus> Fraunhofer owns the rights to Mp3.

Can a stereo, or mono, ogg encoded file be looped without the delay/pop you get when doing so to an MP3 file?

I've been out of it for quite awhile, but now I'm back. I was wondering if anyone has started writing a Windows multimedia codec for vorbis. These little gems are quite useful for encoding the audio stream to be interleaved with a video stream, and MPEG 4 video/Vorbis audio would be quite useful.
