The codec to encode the audio track. Codec "Without reencoding" copies the audio stream from the input file into output without re-encoding if possible.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

OGV (Ogg Video) is an open multimedia format that combines the Theora video codec with the Ogg container, both developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation as royalty-free alternatives to proprietary media formats. Theora 1.0 reached stable release in November 2008, though development had been underway since 2002 based on the VP3 codec donated by On2 Technologies. Theora compresses video using block-based motion compensation with discrete cosine transform coding, achieving quality roughly comparable to MPEG-4 Part 2 at similar bit rates. The Ogg container uses a page-based multiplexing scheme that interleaves Theora video with Vorbis or Opus audio, supporting features like chained streams for seamless concatenation and multiplexed streams for synchronized multimedia playback. OGV was historically significant in the push for open web standards, serving as one of the first freely implementable video formats proposed for the HTML5 video element. Firefox and Chrome both shipped native OGV support, demonstrating that web video could function without reliance on proprietary plugins or licensed codecs. The format also supports FLAC lossless audio, Kate subtitle streams, and Skeleton metadata within the Ogg container. While WebM and AV1 have largely replaced OGV in the open-source video landscape, the format remains available in Linux distributions, open-source media tools, and contexts where complete freedom from patent concerns is a priority.

ra

RealAudio is a proprietary audio format developed by RealNetworks and first released in 1995 as one of the earliest technologies enabling real-time audio streaming over the internet. During the dial-up era, RealAudio was genuinely revolutionary — it let users listen to audio as it downloaded rather than waiting for the entire file, a paradigm shift when a three-minute song could take 30 minutes to transfer. The format evolved through multiple codec generations: early versions used low-bitrate speech codecs for 14.4 kbps modems, while later iterations (RealAudio 10, built on AAC) delivered near-CD quality. RA files support constant and variable bitrate encoding, adaptive multi-bitrate streaming, and buffering algorithms designed to minimize playback interruptions on unreliable connections. At its peak, RealPlayer was installed on hundreds of millions of PCs, and broadcasters like the BBC and NPR relied on RealAudio for online streams. A lasting technical contribution was the adaptive bitrate streaming concept that influenced later standards like HLS and DASH. Though supplanted by modern codecs, vast archives of RA content from early web radio still exist and need conversion for playback on current devices.
