Well, isn't free as in speech more important here?

Free container formats:
- Ogg
- MPEG

Free codecs:
- Vorbis
- Theora
- FLAC
- XViD

These are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Codecs
proposed by the MPEG should be open standards, AFAIK. Marcus, Godwin,
you guys want to help me out here?
