NOTE: WaveSurfer has built in web based installation of plug-ins. Simply select Plug-ins from the File menu. Video The video plugin makes it possible to open video files in WaveSurfer, to do labelling or annotations as well as simple cut-and-paste editing.

Note that the plug-in currently only supports reading of Sphere files. Ogg Vorbis This plug-in adds support for the Ogg Vorbis audio file format. Ogg Vorbis is a completely open, patent-free, professional audio encoding and streaming technology with all the benefits of Open Source, see the Vorbis Home Page for more information.
