Encoding

Libogg contains a set of functions used in the encoding process.

All the libogg specific functions are declared in "ogg/ogg.h".

When encoding, the encoding engine will output raw packets which must be placed into an Ogg bitstream.

Raw packets are inserted into the stream, and an ogg_page is output when enough packets have been written to create a full page. The pages output are pointers to buffered packet segments, and can then be written out and saved as an ogg stream.

There are a couple of basic steps:

• Use the encoding engine to produce a raw packet of data.
• Call ogg_stream_packetin to submit a raw packet to the stream.
• Use ogg_stream_pageout to output a page, if enough data has been submitted. Otherwise, continue submitting data.
