VQF is a proprietaryaudio file format that gained popularity in the mid to late 1990s. MP3 quickly overpowered VQF and the format stopped being regulary used around 1999. VQF files were found on HTTP or FTP servers rather than the more popular P2P servers. The compression algorithm used by VQF is more efficient than MP3. MP3 encoding and decoding is easier. There are still programs available that can convert files to VQF format as well as plugins for audio players, such as Winamp, that can play back VQF audio data.
VQF was developed by NTT Labs, Yamaha took over VQF, yet surprisingly they kept the format locked, that is, there is only one official player / encoder, yes you have guessed it, this player is written by Yamaha.
VQF generates higher compression rates than mp3, so in someway is a superior technology, yet it demands more processor time to decode VQF files than Mp3, also the encoding time of VQF is very slow.
It is unlikely that VQF will take the world by storm, the best that VQF and ACC have to offer are being combined to create the Mp4 standard.
VQF 2007 will be returning to its two spacious and air-conditioned venues : Champlain Valley Exposition (CVE) in Essex Junction and St. Michael's College (SMC) in Colchester.
