- Description
- id RoQ is a proprietary video (and audio) container format developed for use in video games. It uses a custom codec combining vector quantization for video and a simple compression scheme for audio, designed for fast decoding on limited hardware. It was used in several id Software games such as Quake III Arena and Return to Castle Wolfenstein to play full-motion video cutscenes.
- OGA is an audio file format that can be created using various compression algorithms such as Ogg FLAC, Ghost, and Ogg PCM. Ogg Vorbis or Speex compression can also be used but it is not recommended by Xiph.Org.
