Vorbis

2006-01-04T10:08:18Z

Forart.it: /* Software */

[[image:fish_logo.png|right|]]

=Introduction=
'''Vorbis''' ([http://www.vorbis.com www.vorbis.com]) is a fully open, non-proprietary, patent-free (subject to [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13531 speculation]), and royalty-free, general-purpose compressed audio format for mid to high quality (8khz-48.0kHz, 16+ bit, [[multichannel]]) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates from 16 to >256 kbps/channel. This places vorbis in the same competitive class as audio representations such as MPEG-4 ([[AAC]]), and similar to, but higher performance than [[MP3]], TwinVQ ([[VQF]]), [[WMA]] and [[PAC]].

Vorbis is the first of a planned family of Ogg multimedia coding formats being developed as part of Xiph.org's ogg multimedia project.

Informal listening test suggests Vorbis to be comparable to MPEG-4 [[AAC]] at most bitrates and [[MPC]] at 128 kbps. Transparency is generally reached at about 150-170 kbps (-q 5) (with some exceptions). The encoder is reasonably young and unoptimized, so further improvements can always be expected. An important listening test at high bitrate can be seen [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=36465 here].

Unfortunately, Xiph.org has failed to improve Vorbis at a steady rate since its initial 1.0 release in July 2002 (due to other developement projects and time constraints). Since then development has been led by other coders such as [http://sjeng.org/vorbisgt3.html Garf] and [http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/ Aoyumi]. Aoyumi's AoTuV series of encoders was incorporated into the September 2004 release of 1.1, which brought about the first quality improvements across the board for 2 years. Currently Aoyumi is working on AoTuV Beta 4 and future releases. The latest version is AoTuV Beta 4.51, released in December 2005.

Vorbis has had success with many recent video game titles employing Vorbis as opposed to MP3 (with Epic Games' Unreal Tournament 2003 and Unreal Tournament 2004, the PC port of Microsoft's Halo and Uru being notable examples). It's also an official part of the [http://www.openal.org/extensions.html OpenAL] extension library.

==Pros==
* Free (as in speech), Open Source and claimed to be patent free
* Good all-round performance (>48 kbps - a leading codec at [http://www.rjamorim.com/test/multiformat128/results.html 128 kbps] and [http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=36465 180 kbps])
* Well written [http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/docs.html specs]
* Several portable [http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Ogg_Vorbis#Hardware hardware players]
* Suitable for internet-streaming (via [http://www.icecast.org/ Icecast] and other methods)
* Fully [[gapless]] playback
* High potential for further tuning
* Structured to allow the design for a hybrid filterbank.

==Cons==
* Limited official development (third-party developement is always encouraged)
* Current implementations are more computationally intensive to encode and decode than MP3 (Vorbis 2.0 seeks to overcome this limitation by slimlining the encoder)
* Multichannel input mappings for 5.1, Ambisonic-B, and other config have no channel coupling and aren't tuned (expect sub-optimal results until code is improved).

=Technical details=
* Multiple block sizes for window switching including overlap (varies for different modes, powers of two only)
* Customly designed [[window function]] is applied similiar to the sine window '''wk = sin(PI/2*sin^2[PI/2n*(k+0.5)])''' (good sidelobe rejection)
* Psychoacoustics masking exploited via an ([[ATH]] model)
* Masking curves derived from ''emperically'' adjusted set of [http://www.zainea.com/masking2.htm Ehmer Curves]
* Modified Discrete Cosine Transform ([[MDCT]]) is used for noise analysis.
* Fast Fourier Transform ([[FFT]]) is used for tonal analysis.
* Global masking curve is a mixture between calculated FFT+MDCT curves and ATH curves.
* The noise-floor (envelope) is calculate using global masking curve & piecewise linear approximation divded by spectrum to generate the residue (fine detail).
* [[Noise normalization]] is applied to compensate for energy lost in certain frequency bands due to quantization ''(main cause metallic warbling in MP3)''
* The channels are coupled ''strictly'' by residue using ([http://us.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/stereo.html point/phase stereo] and lossless).
* Multistage [[Vector quantization]] is used for coding the noise-floor and residue backend using ''trained'' codebooks.
* [[Huffman coding]] is used to minimize vector codeword redundancy.

=Software=
'''Encoders'''
* [[Oggenc]] official command-line encoder (Win32/Posix)
* [http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.html OggdropXPd] advanced drag-and-drop encoder by John33 (Win32)
* [http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/foobar2000/ foo_vorbisenc] vorbis encoder library for Foobar2000 (Win32)
* [http://homepage3.nifty.com/blacksword/index_e.htm Lancer] SSE-optimized vorbis encoder utility and libraries by BlackSword (Win32)

'''Decoders'''
* [[Ogg123]] for Unix systems (GPL), a very simple to use command-line player. (Win32/Posix)
* [http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.html OggDec] for Windows, by John33, a very featureful command line decoder. (Win32)
