Part 3. Extended Knowledge for OGV
1. What is an OGV file?
A relatively lesser-known file format, OGV allows streaming and manipulation of videos. OGV is closely related to OGG. For those who don’t know, OGG is a video bitstream container format. Surprisingly, the OGV file format can multiplex many different and independent open source CODECs for text, audio, and video. OGG has had its numerous CODECs incorporated into various commercial and free media players, along with portable players, thus catering to different manufacturers, which happens to be a giant leap in itself. The OGV files come in handy as we encounter its usage on web pages using the HTML5 tag. Often, these files are casually referenced as OGG files in HTML, even though the underlying file format is OGV.
2. How to play OGV files in Windows and Mac?
Playing OGV files in Windows:
- One can either install the codes from Xiph.org after downloading it. As an open-source community, it does a commendable job of supporting numerous audio compression formats. The CODECs enable WMP to play OGV files.
- Converting the formats: Many audio conversion software packages exist for running an OGV file in the WMP supported format. However, there is a possibility of compromise on quality. Conversion makes sense only if a file is to be suited for a certain device, else using the above method can deliver efficient results.
Playing OGV files in Mac:
- Using XiphQT, which is Xiph.org QuickTime Components, these are a set of QuickTime plug-ins. Through these plug-ins, iTunes and other QT based applications can play OGV files.
- OGG Drop can also prove useful in this scenario. It would encode audio tracks and other files into Vorbis. With its QT component, it allows iTunes to play various OGV files. The biggest advantage is that it comes free of any cost.
3. Difference between OGG and OGV:
Often, many people end up confusing OGG and OGV file formats. While they share some similarities and have the same underlying supporting formats, it is important to note that OGG can be used for both audio and video purposes, while OGV is mainly a video file container.
The OGV file format is useful for people hosting their own websites, portals, and e-commerce websites, and you can easily convert your files in this format using Wondershare UniConverter.
