Your link is to an argument against the ides of using Ogg as a general purpose container format (for video in particular). This is about something different; Vorbis encoded audio which traditionally comes in an Ogg container. I have never heard the argument that the Ogg container format somehow makes Vorbis inferior to other codecs in practice.
- jfindley 10y agoI think that's misrepresenting the article somewhat. It mentions video in several places, because a lot of the issues stem at least in part from the complexities introduced by trying to be a general purpose container, but there are many significant problems with use of it as an audio format besides these.
- cm3 10y agoOgg containers have this problem that to change the metadata you have to rewrite the whole file whereas with ID3 it's always the last bytes at the end and highly efficient to edit.
