About formats

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.
Initial release: November 3, 2008
SLN (Signed Linear) is a headerless raw audio format storing 16-bit signed linear PCM samples at 8000 Hz mono, most closely associated with Asterisk — the open-source PBX framework developed by Digium (now Sangoma Technologies). Within Asterisk, SLN serves as the native internal audio representation: every codec transcoding operation passes through signed linear as an intermediate step. This makes SLN the backbone of Asterisk's codec translation architecture. The format contains nothing but raw samples — no headers, no metadata, no framing — so parameters must be known in advance. While this lack of self-description might seem limiting, it is actually an advantage in telephony where sample format is fixed by convention and every overhead byte matters across thousands of simultaneous channels. The 8000 Hz rate aligns with the G.711 standard for traditional telephony, capturing the full 300-3400 Hz voice band. Asterisk also supports extended variants (sln16, sln32, sln48) for wideband audio. SLN files require no decoding — just direct memory mapping — making them ideal for real-time mixing, conferencing, and prompt playback in high-density VoIP environments.
Initial release: 1999
