OGG is retired.

OPUS replaced Ogg Vorbis and Speex.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_(audio_format)

https://www.opus-codec.org/

also

HEVC : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding

x265 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X265

and applied to images

HEIF : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Image_File_Format

BPG (JPG replacement) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Portable_Graphics

To my knowledge these are the best and latest, open, and deserving of promotion and implementation if possible.

We can really only do what browsers support and most of them claim to support very few file formats. If you want to dig into this, I can give you the list of extensions we added support for and you can find out if we are missing any.

Just these ones concern me now.

I don't even use these yet as I don't create a lot of content yet. Presently I just do SVG and PNG images and JPG when I need a slightly compressed banner. HEIF would be neat though, assuming my Photoshop or GIMP has it, but as you said, pointless if no one else uses it.

It looks like there is OPUS and HEVC/H.265 support in some browsers! Jason for the technical win, consider it done. https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit/issues/25

For the bigger win - the users of SaidIt now have the latest and greatest!

Cause d3rr is the man!

VLC and MPC-HC and everyone has had HEVC for years and I'm honestly bummed that RARBG, YIFY, etc don't embrace x265 for all this time to save so much space and bandwidth. I'm guessing OPUS has been in use for a while but I don't really deal exclusively with audio much beyond FLACs.

However I have my YouTube-DLG configured to download 3 files for each video - the maxres JPG thumbnail, the video usually as WEBM/MKV/MPA/MP4 and the OPUS audio file. If there was a setting I'd also scrape the page for more information, show notes, links, stats, etc.

Since somebody (not sure who) was kind enough to do the unacknowledged work of separating church and state <audio> and <video>, I added your filetypes. (I think; correct me if I'm wrong.) Wanna see the code? #27

Yeehaw nice work man.

I kinda like some of those cartoons. But this one was spectacular.

I kinda like some of the available audio video formats. But these are spectacular! We're bleeding edge man!

I hate running into WEBM and WEBP now. And I have yet to even see a single HEIF or BPG but I want to. If it's not installed don't worry or hurry, but maybe eventually.

Maybe tomorrow I'll start testing things. I haven't even tried using SVG's yet. Shame on me after all my whining for them.

Not ideal for now but should be in the future.
