Open Formats listing


AUDIO
Ogg Vorbis

Jpeg
Png

DOCUMENTS
OO.org open formats

Please tell me other open formats you know or a site that provides a comprehensive listing about them... www.openformats.org is quite lacking right now. Thanks.

look at the OGG projects web site, they are a group that defines a whole range of multimedia formats to use

from my memory they have:

---VIDEO---
theora

plus OGM, a container format used to store OGG Vorbis streams, and can store any video and audio (as i recall)

edit:

if you want to include HTML, have a look at w3c, it says what formats are standard on the web, some of its stuff it handles (if i recall right): CSS, HTML, VRML, XML ...... maybe also SGML (is that right?

and thats just a start. What about the TeX file formats?, the texinfo format is open (from GNU), what about the troff format (is that open?, there are OSS programs that support it, man pages use this format, as i recall)

pictures: the X images formats? (XBM, and XPM?)

thats just off the top of my head, theres lots of other formats, like 3D formats ....

Edit: removed the ones that are already on your site

How about the GIMP's native image format, XCF?
Or Scribus' SLA and SCD formats?
Blender3D saves models in it's own BLEND format.
I believe AbiWord, Gnumeric, and KOffice programs also use their own formats.

I'm sure there are hundreds more... those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head
