Overhead in Xvid & Ogg

[ReferenceDivx]

I just made a Xvid and Ogg backup. Since the movie was rather long i recorded the audio at 64. I was really impressed at how well ogg handles these low bitrate audio files. I noticed that it sounds a lot better than WMA at 64. Has anyone tried encoding at this level with sounds of water. I noticed when i recorded audio files with WMA at 64 that the running water sounded distorted. (I.E. A river runs through it). Maybe someone could comment on movie clips that perform bad when using ogg at 64.

But i'm very impressed with this open-source solution.

Keep up the good work!!

P.S. the overhead was about one-half of one percent of the total size of the video

691 compared with 694 Megs

the Ogg format itself contains about 1% of overhead in a typical audio stream - that is, a 150 kbps .ogg file will contains about 1.5 kbps of overhead. I would've thought the overhead would've only been around ~0.3% in a movie, given the size of the video data compared to a typical audio stream.

I wonder what's getting put in that stream..
