Opus Audio Codec - The High-Quality Internet Streaming Format
OPUS is a lossy audio codec developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) with the primary intent to support internet streaming applications. It's designed to provide high-quality audio at low bitrates, making it ideal for real-time communication.
The OPUS codec combines the best features of SILK (used by Skype) and CELT codecs, offering excellent performance across a wide range of bitrates from 6 kb/s to 510 kb/s.
OPUS supports a wide range of bitrates from 6 kb/s to 510 kb/s, making it suitable for everything from low-bandwidth voice calls to high-quality music streaming.
Designed specifically for real-time applications, OPUS provides low latency encoding and decoding, making it perfect for video conferencing and live streaming.
OPUS is widely used in video conferencing, voice over IP (VoIP), video chats, and internet streaming applications where high-quality audio at low bitrates is essential.
While OPUS files are less common than MP3, they are supported by several popular media players and applications, especially those focused on internet streaming and communication.
Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, and other messaging platforms
VLC Media Player, AIMP, and other modern players
