Hi,

this message may not be of big importance for this forum here, as its mainly a Video related thing, so please ignore this thread if you are using Ogg Vorbis mainly for music archiving. I decided to put this note here to make absolutely clear that even recent ( bad ) events will not change our attitude towards Monty's incredible work when making Ogg Vorbis, we will always support this format best possible from our side. The source code is released under GPL and hosted on Corecodec.org

http://corecodec.org/projects/corevorbis

Compiled Binaries can always be found here :

The new DirectShow filter supports both Stereo and 5.1 playback, we also defined a new MEDIATYPE to avoid incompatibilities with the OggDS filter from Tobias Waldvogel. This step was necessary as we had to find that Tobias' filter is very much programmed to interact with his own Ogg parser/splitter filter, and thus doesnt work very well with DirectShow's own timestamping system.

Xiph people have been informed officially already, but Jack Moffit told me he is talking to Tobias Waldvogel right now about getting the source code for the OggDS filters, so they probably wont use the CoreVorbis code. However, if they decided to use the code we would be happy about this decision.

Important :

This decoder filter is not usable to play Ogg files as is, as there is no Ogg container source filter ( parser/splitter filter ) coming with it. It was mainly created to allow playback of Vorbis content from other container formats that are depending on a proper timestamp handling on DirectShow from their parser/splitter filters, such as MP4 for example.

However, if anybody feels like making an Ogg splitter filter to accomplish the project, he is gladly invited to join us.
