1 Ogg is a multimedia container format, and the native file and stream
2 format for the Xiph.org multimedia codecs.
4 As with most container formats it encapsulates raw compressed data and
5 allows the interleaving of audio and video data inside a single convenient
6 format. Other examples of container formats are Quicktime .mov, the MPEG
7 program stream, and AVI.
9 In addition to encapsulation and interleave of multiple data streams,
10 Ogg provides packet framing, error detection, and periodic timestamps for
11 seeking, and in a small, bounded percentage bitrate overhead.
13 Ogg is a stream oriented container, meaning it can be written and read in
14 one pass, making it a natural fit for internet streaming and use in
15 processing pipelines. This stream orientation is the major design
16 difference over other file-based container formats.
