Ogg Vorbis

An Ogg video file is a multimedia file that uses the Ogg Vorbis container format to store video data. The Ogg Vorbis container format is an open-source, royalty-free container format that can store audio, video, and text data. Ogg video files are typically encoded with the Theora video codec, which is also an open-source, royalty-free codec.

Ogg video files are smaller and more efficient than files encoded with other popular video codecs, such as H.264 and MPEG-4. This is because the Theora codec is designed to be very efficient at compressing video data. Additionally, Ogg video files are less susceptible to compression artifacts, which can make them appear more visually appealing than files encoded with other codecs.

Ogg video files are supported by a number of popular media players, including VLC Media Player, MPV, and Kodi. They are also supported by some web browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.

Here are some of the benefits of using Ogg video files:

• Open-source and royalty-free: Ogg video files are encoded with open-source codecs, which means that they are not subject to any licensing fees. This makes them a more affordable option for businesses and individuals.
• Smaller and more efficient: Ogg video files are typically smaller than files encoded with other popular video codecs. This makes them a good choice for websites and mobile devices, where bandwidth is limited.
• Less susceptible to compression artifacts: Ogg video files are less susceptible to compression artifacts, which can make them appear more visually appealing than files encoded with other codecs.


If you are looking for a free, open-source, and efficient way to store video data, then Ogg video files are a good option.
