<h2>Ogg</h2>
<p>
Ogg Media Container is developed by <a href="http://www.xiph.org/">
-	Xiph</a>. The Ogg bitstream is defined in RFC 3533 and its MIME
-	media type (application/ogg) in RFC 3534.
-	This format was designed with main aim of media streaming (which
-	does not mean it is not good for other uses). More
-	information about ogg can be found <a
-	href="http://www.xiph.org/ogg/doc/">here</a> (probably outdated).
+	Xiph</a> as the framework of a larger initiative aimed at
+	developing a set of components for the coding and decoding of multimedia
+	content which are both freely available and freely re-implementable in
+	software. The Ogg bitstream is defined in <a
+	href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3533.html">RFC 3533</a> and its MIME
+	media type (application/ogg) in <a

-	<p><b>Using Ogg</b>: Ogg (and theora and vorbis) are very well
-	supported by GNU/Linux (mplayer, xine etc ..). For windows you
-	can install directshow <a href="http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/">plugins</a>.
-	</p>
<p>
-	<b>Creation of Ogg files</b>: To create audio-only-vorbis files,
-	you can use command line utility <a
-	href="http://www.gnu.org/directory/audio/ogg/OggEnc.html">oggenc</a>.
-	To encode theora-video + vorbis-audio in Ogg, libtheora provides
-	a command line utility (encoder_example) which can be used as shown
-	in following <a
-href="http://www.dogphilosophy.net/SECTION-Technical_Stuff/ogg-theora-microhowto.html">
-	document</a>. On windows, just follow instructions mentioned <a
-	href="http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/enc_theora_graphedit.html">here</a>.
+	To start using Ogg, just read <a href="../ogg/howto/">Ogg
