Introduction - - This document describes media types for Ogg, a data encapsulation - format defined by the Xiph.Org Foundation for public use. Refer to - "Introduction" in [RFC3533] and "Overview" in [Ogg] for background - information on this container format. - - Binary data contained in Ogg, such as Vorbis and Theora, has - historically been interchanged using the application/ogg media type - as defined by [RFC3534]. This document obsoletes [RFC3534] and - defines three media types for different types of content in Ogg to - reflect this usage in the IANA media type registry, to foster - interoperability by defining underspecified aspects, and to provide - general security considerations. - - The Ogg container format is known to contain [Theora] or [Dirac] - video, [Speex] (narrow-band and wide-band) speech, [Vorbis] or [FLAC] - audio, and [CMML] timed text/metadata. As Ogg encapsulates binary - data, it is possible to include any other type of video, audio, - image, text, or, generally speaking, any time-continuously sampled - data. - - While raw packets from these data sources may be used directly by - transport mechanisms that provide their own framing and packet- - separation mechanisms (such as UDP datagrams or RTP), Ogg is a - solution for stream based storage (such as files) and transport (such - as TCP streams or pipes). The media types defined in this document - are needed to correctly identify such content when it is served over - HTTP, included in multi-part documents, or used in other places where - media types [RFC2045] are used. - -2. Changes Since RFC 3534 - - o The type "application/ogg" is redefined. - - o The types "video/ogg" and "audio/ogg" are defined. - - o New file extensions are defined. - - o New Macintosh file type codes are defined. - - o The codecs parameter is defined for optional use. - - o The Ogg Skeleton extension becomes a recommended addition for - content served under the new types. - - - - - - -Goncalves, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] - -RFC 5334 Ogg Media Types September 2008 - - -3. Conformance and Document Conventions - - The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", - "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this - document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, [RFC2119] and - indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations. - Requirements apply to all implementations unless otherwise stated. - - An implementation is a software module that supports one of the media - types defined in this document. Software modules may support - multiple media types, but conformance is considered individually for - each type. - - Implementations that fail to satisfy one or more "MUST" requirements - are considered non-compliant. Implementations that satisfy all - "MUST" requirements, but fail to satisfy one or more "SHOULD" - requirements, are said to be "conditionally compliant". All other - implementations are "unconditionally compliant". - -4. Deployed Media Types and Compatibility - - The application/ogg media type has been used in an ad hoc fashion to - label and exchange multimedia content in Ogg containers. - - Use of the "application" top-level type for this kind of content is - known to be problematic, in particular since it obfuscates video and - audio content. This document thus defines the media types, - - o video/ogg - - o audio/ogg - - which are intended for common use and SHOULD be used when dealing - with video or audio content, respectively. This document also - obsoletes the [RFC3534] definition of application/ogg and marks it - for complex data (e.g., multitrack visual, audio, textual, and other - time-continuously sampled data), which is not clearly video or audio - data and thus not suited for either the video/ogg or audio/ogg types. - Refer to the following section for more details. - - An Ogg bitstream generally consists of one or more logical bitstreams - that each consist of a series of header and data pages packetising - time-continuous binary data [RFC3533]. The content types of the - logical bitstreams may be identified without decoding the header - pages of the logical bitstreams through use of a [Skeleton] - bitstream. Using Ogg Skeleton is REQUIRED for content served under - - - - - -Goncalves, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] - -RFC 5334 Ogg Media Types September 2008 - - - the application/ogg type and RECOMMENDED for video/ogg and audio/ogg, - as Skeleton contains identifiers to describe the different - encapsulated data. - - Furthermore, it is RECOMMENDED that implementations that identify a - logical bitstream that they cannot decode SHOULD ignore it, while - continuing to decode the ones they can. Such precaution ensures - backward and forward compatibility with existing and future data. - - These media types can optionally use the "codecs" parameter described - in [RFC4281]. Codecs encapsulated in Ogg require a text identifier - at the beginning of the first header page, hence a machine-readable - method to identify the encapsulated codecs would be through this - header. The following table illustrates how those header values map - into strings that are used in the "codecs" parameter when dealing - with Ogg media types. - - Codec Identifier | Codecs Parameter - ----------------------------------------------------------- - char[5]: 'BBCD\0' | dirac - char[5]: '\177FLAC' | flac - char[7]: '\x80theora' | theora - char[7]: '\x01vorbis' | vorbis - char[8]: 'CELT ' | celt - char[8]: 'CMML\0\0\0\0' | cmml - char[8]: '\213JNG\r\n\032\n' | jng - char[8]: '\x80kate\0\0\0' | kate - char[8]: 'OggMIDI\0' | midi - char[8]: '\212MNG\r\n\032\n' | mng - char[8]: 'PCM ' | pcm - char[8]: '\211PNG\r\n\032\n' | png - char[8]: 'Speex ' | speex - char[8]: 'YUV4MPEG' | yuv4mpeg - - An up-to-date version of this table is kept at Xiph.org (see - [Codecs]). - - Possible examples include: - - o application/ogg; codecs="theora, cmml, ecmascript" - - o video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis" - - o audio/ogg; codecs=speex - - - - - - - -Goncalves, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] - -RFC 5334 Ogg Media Types September 2008 - - -5. Relation between the Media Types - - As stated in the previous section, this document describes three - media types that are targeted at different data encapsulated in Ogg. - Since Ogg is capable of encapsulating any kind of data, the multiple - usage scenarios have revealed interoperability issues between - implementations when dealing with content served solely under the - application/ogg type. - - While this document does redefine the earlier definition of - application/ogg, this media type will continue to embrace the widest - net possible of content with the video/ogg and audio/ogg types being - smaller subsets of it. However, the video/ogg and audio/ogg types - take precedence in a subset of the usages, specifically when serving - multimedia content that is not complex enough to warrant the use of - application/ogg. Following this line of thought, the audio/ogg type - is an even smaller subset within video/ogg, as it is not intended to - refer to visual content. - - As such, the application/ogg type is the recommended choice to serve - content aimed at scientific and other applications that require - various multiplexed signals or streams of continuous data, with or - without scriptable control of content. For bitstreams containing - visual, timed text, and any other type of material that requires a - visual interface, but that is not complex enough to warrant serving - under application/ogg, the video/ogg type is recommended. In - situations where the Ogg bitstream predominantly contains audio data - (lyrics, metadata, or cover art notwithstanding), it is recommended - to use the audio/ogg type. - -6. Encoding Considerations - - Binary: The content consists of an unrestricted sequence of octets. - - Note: - - o Ogg encapsulated content is binary data and should be transmitted - in a suitable encoding without CR/LF conversion, 7-bit stripping, - etc.; base64 [RFC4648] is generally preferred for binary-to-text - encoding. - - o Media types described in this document are used for stream based - storage (such as files) and transport (such as TCP streams or - pipes); separate types are used to identify codecs such as in - real-time applications for the RTP payload formats of Theora - [ThRTP] video, Vorbis [RFC5215], or Speex [SpRTP] audio, as well - as for identification of encapsulated data within Ogg through - Skeleton. - - - -Goncalves, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] - -RFC 5334 Ogg Media Types September 2008 - - -7. Security Considerations - - Refer to [RFC3552] for a discussion of terminology used in this - section. - - The Ogg encapsulation format is a container and only a carrier of - content (such as audio, video, and displayable text data) with a very - rigid definition. This format in itself is not more vulnerable than - any other content framing mechanism. - - Ogg does not provide for any generic encryption or signing of itself - or its contained bitstreams. However, it encapsulates any kind of - binary content and is thus able to contain encrypted and signed - content data. It is also possible to add an external security - mechanism that encrypts or signs an Ogg bitstream and thus provides - content confidentiality and authenticity. - - As Ogg encapsulates binary data, it is possible to include executable - content in an Ogg bitstream. Implementations SHOULD NOT execute such - content without prior validation of its origin by the end-user. - - Issues may arise on applications that use Ogg for streaming or file - transfer in a networking scenario. In such cases, implementations - decoding Ogg and its encapsulated bitstreams have to ensure correct - handling of manipulated bitstreams, of buffer overflows, and similar - issues. - - It is also possible to author malicious Ogg bitstreams, which attempt - to call for an excessively large picture size, high sampling-rate - audio, etc. Implementations SHOULD protect themselves against this - kind of attack. - - Ogg has an extensible structure, so that it is theoretically possible - that metadata fields or media formats might be defined in the future - which might be used to induce particular actions on the part of the - recipient, thus presenting additional security risks. However, this - type of capability is currently not supported in the referenced - specification. - - Implementations may fail to implement a specific security model or - other means to prevent possibly dangerous operations. Such failure - might possibly be exploited to gain unauthorized access to a system - or sensitive information; such failure constitutes an unknown factor - and is thus considered out of the scope of this document. - - - - - - - -Goncalves, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] - -RFC 5334 Ogg Media Types September 2008 - - -8. Interoperability Considerations - - The Ogg container format is device-, platform-, and vendor-neutral - and has proved to be widely implementable across different computing - platforms through a wide range of encoders and decoders. A broadly - portable reference implementation [libogg] is available under the - revised (3-clause) BSD license, which is a Free Software license. - - The Xiph.Org Foundation has defined the specification, - interoperability, and conformance and conducts regular - interoperability testing. - - The use of the Ogg Skeleton extension has been confirmed to not cause - interoperability issues with existing implementations. Third parties - are, however, welcome to conduct their own testing. - -9. IANA Considerations - - In accordance with the procedures set forth in [RFC4288], this - document registers two new media types and redefines the existing - application/ogg as defined in the following section. - -10.
