    AV1 AVIF

    AV1 AVIF

    AV1 Image File Format Specification - ISO-BMFF/HEIF derivative

    AV1 AVIF is the official specification and reference design for the AV1 Image File Format (AVIF), defining how AV1-encoded bitstreams are packaged into the HEIF container format (based on ISOBMFF) to produce AVIF files. The project outlines the syntax and semantics required for AVIF compliance, including support for multiple image profiles, color depths, chroma subsampling modes, HDR/WCG, alpha channels, animation/image sequences, and various color-space/bit-depth combinations — making AVIF a versatile, modern image format suitable for both simple photos and advanced imagery needing high fidelity. The specification ensures interoperability across encoders and decoders, providing guidelines so that images created by any compliant AVIF encoder can be reliably decoded by compliant decoders. As adoption grows, AV1 AVIF plays a crucial role in promoting a royalty-free, open, high-efficiency image standard that competes with older formats such as JPEG and newer proprietary ones.

    Ogg Omg Metadata Getter for PHP

    Previously known as Ogg.class.php

    This is a continuation of Ogg.class.php by Nicolas Ricquemaque, which in turn was a split from File_Ogg by David Grant (don't you love Free Software?). Initially this project will just fix bugs and make minor adjustments to Ogg.class.php code, no backward incompatible changes will be made without an announcement. The version numbers will continue from the 1.3g, the latest released version of the ancestor project. Note: This project will __not__ help you to convert your media files into Ogg or to mux several Ogg streams together. It __will__ help you to get correct information about an already converted file.
