Media

The purpose of this page is to explain how to make and convert video and audio into the format usable on Wikipedia: Ogg Vorbis. For help playing such files, see Wikipedia:Media help. Wikipedia uses Ogg Vorbis for sound and Ogg Theora for video. The Ogg Vorbis format is similar to the better-known MP3 format except that audio quality is higher and, unlike MP3, the encoders and decoders are not encumbered by patents. A [http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2004-July/011514.html decision] has been made that MP3 files will not be hosted at Wikipedia. ==Video== Because most popular movie/audio formats are patented and require a royalty, there are no free all purpose video converters. * For video, ffmpeg2theora (http://www.v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/examples.html) is a command line encoder capable of converting numerous file formats (.mov, .mpg, .mpeg, .avi) into Ogg Theora. It works on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/Unix. *You can also use the encoder_example application included with libtheora (http://www.theora.org) in combination with a program like MPlayer [1] (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/) that is capable of dumping raw (yuv4mpeg) video and sound to encode in Ogg Theora. *For assistance with conversion, try contacting: **Raul654 **brian0918 (Windows only) ==Audio== * For audio, Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) is a high quality sound editor for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/Unix. To use Audacity on mp3s, it requires that you install LAME. **Lame download page for Windows (http://mitiok.free.fr/) or the GUI winLAME (http://winlame.sourceforge.net/) which includes Ogg Vorbis encoding capabilities **Lame download page for Macintosh (http://spaghetticode.org/lame/) *dBpowerAMP Music Converter (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm) offers an easy-to-use GUI for encoding to Ogg Vorbis. The Vorbis codec must be downloaded separately from the software, but it is freely available from the same website. *The command-line tool mpg321 (http://mpg321.sourceforge.net/), based on libmad (http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/) is a free mp3 decoder that can be used to play or decode mp3 files. The result can be encoded into Ogg Vorbis using oggenc or another vorbis-enabled encoder. * The easiest way to play ogg vorbis files on legacy Macintoshes (OS 9 and lower) is to use JustOgg.

Should this category be fitted into :Category:Technology instead of :Category:Culture? :Category:Mass media is already in :Category:Culture. User:Walden 22:53, 2004 Sep 14 (UTC) I think the dedication to storage media is not helpful. There are plenty of communications media that are not mass media. User:Charles Matthews 17:03, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC) :Perhaps you could you add some examples of these? Personally, I think the content of :Category:Mass media should be converted to this category, and leave all kind of special media things in sub-categories of it. Something should be done with this category, thats for sure. regards, User:Walden 17:22, 2004 Sep 20 (UTC) ::I think "mass media" deserves to be its own category. The word "media" is much broader. User:Maurreen 14:50, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC) :::Yes, the term ''media'' covers ''mass media'' also. Most readers will associate this word first with this publication/broadcasting term, not the technological storage/communication concepts. That was what this category change was about. If you feel there is a need for a sub-category called ''mass media'', you can implement that, or help to clean-up this category. regards, User:Walden 15:29, 2004 Oct 4 (UTC)
