Title: Ogg-FLAC -> just what is it?
Post by: kewe65 on June 25, 2007, 07:04:35 pm

I saw in the FLAC encoder settings, this check box:

Use Ogg as transport layer (.ogg)

What is this and why would i use it?


thanks

I found this with a google search...

http://flac.sourceforge.net/ogg_mapping.html (http://flac.sourceforge.net/ogg_mapping.html)

It's all greek to me, but it might mean something to you.

Ogg is a multimedia container format. It can contain audio and video that is encoded with various encoders. The most common is Vorbis, but for example FLAC is also possible. However, usually player programs and devices can play only Vorbis content.
