similar to: AW: AW: Why the commotion about file extensions?

Well, I only recently subscribed to this mailing list and do not know all the history of this extension debate (I passed up on reading the hundreds of messages that seem to have been written about this topic). I just wanted to make one quick point: from my experience, the average user does not know about file formats, only about content (my experience stems from working for ashampoo

Hello everyone, I recently stumbled upon an issue in the encoder of the v1.0 SDK. At the end of each encoding session a divide by zero (D=0) happens in bark_noise_hybridmp (psy.c:642). This causes a crash on Win9x systems (WinNT seems to handle this fine by using infinite as the result). My encoding code is almost identical to the encoder_example, so I'm reasonably sure that this is not a

Here's a question I have: My understanding is that OGG is a 'containter' format, allowing for multiple streams of multiple types, of which Vorbis is only one. My question is this: Is it feasable (and, considering licencing, leagal) to create an .ogg file that contains, say Indeo or Cinepak video? (In other words, use the ogg bitstream to store the data rather than .avi).

I'm planning on building a media file server, from which I can host media files to several set top boxes connect to my television. My plan is to have a huge collection of music and many emulated games, and movies. The idea is to just have a stripped down file server with a large and hard drive, fast network connect. So from any system in my house I could have access to all of my media.

just for the record -- I think you mean video/theora when you mention vorbis+VP3. Vp3 is becoming Theora. Tarkin is another video codec project at Xiph. As for this whole MIME type issue, can someone enlighten me as to how this problem is addressed with Quicktime, Microsoft, and RealNetworks plug-ins today? Also, does an MPEG4 tag specify which audio codec is used? thanks - dan

Suddenly, quite a few people have jumped in and started active experementation and discussion about Tarkin, as well as playing with the very rudimentary test-of-concept 3d wavelet coder jack, hatamoto and I hacked on last year. For your use, I've added a new mailing list, tarkin-dev@xiph.org, for discussion and hacking on Tarkin. The list is run, linked and archived at xiph.org like the

Hi, I'm interested in helping out with the Vorbis and Tarkin projects (in my already limited time!). I don't have an extensive background in all of the mathematics involved, but it looks like my mathematics from undergrad Physics is good enough to get a grasp on it. In the past few days I've started doing some reading on the mathematical basics. As part of my reading, I found

Hello, I'm using ices-2.0.1 as part of an experimental art/music project in which I am creating internet-based feedbackloops running between a single server running ices, and multiple servers running icecast. Part of what I'm interested in are the artifacts created through the compression process. Because of that, I'm trying to tweak ices to do the heaviest compression possible on the

Dear David, I hope it's ok to forward your email to the developer lists. I have not seen a comprehensive scheme for MIME type naming and file extensions for ogg files yet - please anybody put me in the picture if there is. However, I have seen application/x-ogg used for ogg-vorbis files, which is according to MIME type registration rules an unregistered and experimental MIME type (see

Howdy. Trying to set up a persistent SSH connection from a remote host, to my own machine with a LocalForward. I am running the ssh process in the foreground so it can be maintained by djb's daemontools to ensure that the connection stays open at all times. But, I am having a problem with the following command (even when run manually from a shell): ssh -N tarkin where in ~/.ssh/config I

Does Winamp have Vorbis decode built-in? Winamp just put the finishing touches on their own vorbis plugin, and we expect it to ship in the next version. Sonique has already had Vorbis for some time (millions of
