== Description ==

Vorbis is an open-source, patent-free audio file format developed by Xiph.org. It is designed for high-quality, lossy audio compression and as an open contender to proprietary or licensed formats such as [[MP3]] and [[WMA]]. It is most commonly used in the [[Ogg]] container (indeed, for some time the [[Ogg]] container was effectively Vorbis-exclusive, and Vorbis is still often referred to as "Ogg Vorbis"), but may also be used in the [[Matroska]] container, either as an audio-only [[Matroska Audio]] file or as the audio stream of a [[Matroska Video]] file. Most recently, it may be used as the audio stream of a [[WebM]] video file.

The Wikipedia article on Vorbis notes that Vorbis files may be found in some newer games by Ubisoft with the extension '''.sb0'''

The extension '''.ogg''' should now be reserved solely for Ogg Vorbis files for backwards-compatibility reasons, with other Ogg Audio using the extension '''.oga''' and Ogg Video using '''.ogv'''. However, there may still be other Ogg Audio / Video files with the '''.ogg''' extension.
