What is a .OGG file?
OGG is an open audio container, usually holding Vorbis or Opus audio.
- Did you know
- The Ogg container comes from the non-profit Xiph.Org Foundation, which released Vorbis audio in 2000.
- The name Ogg comes from “ogging”, slang from the game Netrek for a forceful kamikaze ramming attack.
- Ogg’s usual audio codec, Vorbis, is named after the character Exquisitor Vorbis in Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novel Small Gods.
- Ogg started life as “Squish”, then “OggSquish”, before being shortened simply to “Ogg” in 2001.
- On the web a .OGG file is served with the MIME type
audio/ogg.
