.OPUS

📌 An .OPUS container group is essentially assigned for storing audio file sequences and tracks made up and opened in the Opus layout, a lossy audio specification technique designed for Internet streaming requests and demands. In common, this accurate methodology involves both the CELT (from Xiph.org) and SILK (utilized by Skype) codecs and is splendidly adapted for variable bit-rates from 6 kb/s to 510 kb/s. Specifically, .OPUS file assets are traditionally opened and saved in the transparent manner due to assistance and interaction with Ogg audio pattern mechanics. Therefore, the encoded file samples and compositions are sometimes referred to and addressed as Ogg Opus recordings.

The founded codec is often applied for Voice over IP (VoIP) targets, in-game chat, and video conferencing prerequisites. Additionally, this individual technical principle was eventually standardized by the IETF organization and is managed and operated by Xiph.Org web-community.

As long as the Opus codec is essentially applied for streaming tasks, actual, valid .OPUS-bundled object resources can be encountered pretty seldom.

How to open an .OPUS file?

📌 All of the major .OPUS data entities can be flawlessly and steadily played back, reprojected, and opened by Microsoft Media Player, Foobar2000, Opus-tools, VLC, AIMP, FFmpeg and other competitive media players and products. As an extra hint, it is possible to audibly reproduce the .OPUS tracks and tunes on Android mobile devices since the noted extension layout is managed and supported by Opus Player applet, compatible with actual Android revisions and branches.
