The Xiph.Org Foundation is a non-profit corporation dedicated to protecting the foundations of Internet multimedia from control by private interests. Our purpose is to support and develop free, open protocols and software to serve the public, developer and business markets.
Over the past 8 years we have developed most of the major patent-free and royalty-free audio and video codecs currently in use, including Vorbis, Speex, FLAC and Theora, as well as developing the Ogg streaming format, and the Icecast streaming media server. Xiph hosted libraries like liboggplay and liboggz power the underling html5 video support in Mozilla Firefox. This year we are also coordinating projects for the Annodex association under our umbrella. The Annodex projects develop standards and software for timed metadata and temporal media reference compatible with the existing web ecosystem. The Annodex streaming media server is used on sites such as wikipedia and archive.org to facilitate improved video seeking, inter-archive interoperability, and temporal media referencing via URLs
