Talk:Vorbis

message: This spectrogram is not a good illustration of lossy compression. Another editor removed it previously. I have removed it again. The spectrograms show that Vorbis removes extreme high frequencies. It does so to avoid allocating any bits to reproducing sounds that most people are unable to hear. I beleive this is across-the-board filtering is only done with specific encode settings. Auditory masking is altogether a different process. --Kvng (talk) 17:54, 16 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: The Power of Thy Sword

message: The other implementations section in the Vorbis page describes that the reference implementation of Vorbis is dual-licensed under the BSD license and the GNU Lesser Public License. I skimmed the FAQ section at the official website of Vorbis and found that most of Ogg Vorbis utility software is release under the GNU General Public license and the libraries and the SDKs are released under a BSD like license. 
I presume there is a need to make appropriate changes to "other implementations" section. I am not really sure how to re-phrase the section to comply with the real present situation, it did be nice if anyone well-informed about it can resolve this. Thank you.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I only today found out that Opus existed, I've been really out of the loop if it came out in 2012! I've encoded so much vorbis since then :/
Can we put a link to Opus somewhere early in the article? The Opus article says it's replacing Vorbis (obv not on platforms that have Vorbis codecs but not Opus codecs), so why not reflect that here?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jikybebna (talk • contribs) 17:47, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opus! 

message: Under "Usage", mention is made of the use of Vorbis Ogg formatted files on websites, including "NPR" which is a hyperlink to National Public Radio, the national public radio network in the USA.  Trying to download several varied files from NPR's website http://www.npr.org, I found they did not use this format at all, so I think this particular reference is incorrect.  Looking further at the Free Software Foundation's website https://www.fsf.org/campaigns/playogg/sites/countries which lists OGG sites around the world, it appears that the mention of a local Boston radio station, WBUR, affiliated with NPR that had adopted Voribis OGG on its station's website might have been thought as having referred to the entire network's website.  Also, the reference 22 on this website to Free Software Foundation's list of Ogg sites throughout the world should be corrected to the link that I've provided, as the link given there is apparently obsolete.

message: This should mean any remaining patent claims should be expired. We need to get a reliable source in patent law to confirm this. Bulcultorator (talk) 11:25, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Just to be clear, Vorbis was never patented. What I assume you mean is any potential infringement claims by others will now relate to expired patents and cannot be prosecuted. Although unlikely, I think there still technically may be the potential for a submarine patent to upend things. ~Kvng (talk) 15:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
