Vorbis 1.0.1 released!

[suspiciousBob]

Vorbis 1.0.1 changelog:
- http://www.vorbis.com/files/1.0.1/Changelog

Vorbis downloads:

Doesn't seem much new or improved (ie: better quality for same bitrate, faster encoding, etc) - seems to be mainly minor bugfixes. The one that interests me the most is Improved handling of quiet signals in low bitrate modes
but that's hardly omg-amazing-wow news :)

There is already talk of vorbis 1.1 - but don't hold your breath for it. This should include better quality, faster encoding, etc, at least to a small degree.

Cool, they should move onto developing theora now. Or so I've heard on the grape vine...

What have they been doing for the last 14 months if they haven't been developing theora?

[Defiler]

The "real deal" support for Ogg FLAC is a nice addition.

[Hiro2k]

I didn't see any thing mentioned about channel coupling. So I assume it's still not working correctly.

If they ever fix that, then there might be another alternative to AAC for surround sound audio.

They've been working on Neuron portables I think. Emmett's fault. :) He did too good a job of getting them contracts. Something like that anyway.

Can anyone link me up to tests that compare this latest release with OggGT3b1 in quality settings above -q6?

Also, does anyone know if floggy will ever surface?

[Sirber]

Where can I get a compiled DLL for beseweet?

[Chainmax]

OK, I'll search at HA for the first question.
Floggy is a kid of hack Garf (Ogg dev) made that can compress music to the 4-8kbps range and still be fairly listenable. For more info, go to:

I just listened a demo, sounds cool for 4kbps :D

[Chainmax]

Yeah, it does. BTW, is it possible to mux an ogg sound file with an rm video stream?

Use Matroska.
