Their primary focus is on the Ogg family of formats, the most successful of which has been Ogg Vorbis, an open and patent-free audio format and codec designed to compete with the patented MP3 and AAC. Current development work is focusing on Ogg Theora, an open and patent-free video format and codec designed to compete with the patented MPEG-4, RealVideo, and Windows Media Video. In addition to its in-house development work, the Foundation has also brought several already-existing but complementary free software projects under its aegis, most of which have a separate, active group of developers. Among these are Speex, an audio codec designed for speech, and FLAC, a lossless audio codec.
