The OGM file extension is a multimedia container format, often used for video streams between DivX, Xvid, and MPEG-4. It is based on the OGG file format, but offers improved support for multiplexed audio, video and text tracks. OGM files are encoded using a variety of different codecs and are typically used for videos where one wants to make use of multiple audio tracks. They are supported by a number of media players, such as VLC, Media Player Classic, and MPlayer.
Technical Details
The OGG Media File format is a container format based on the Xiph.org's OGG, and can contain video, audio, and text streams in various codings formats, such as MPEG-4 or DivX. OGM files use the same header information as found in the OGG format, and include a standard "info" chunk containing metadata describing the media being stored in the file. The metadata includes information such as the length of the clip, codecs used to encode audio and video data, and more. The actual media streams within an OGM file are stored within "pages" and those pages are then broken down into "pages" consisting of packets of audio and video data.
Similar File Formats
Other similar file formats include OGV, OGX, MPG, MPEG, M4V, and AVI.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OGM) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .OGM extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .OGM file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .OGM extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .OGM extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OGM file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OGM file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .OGM file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OGM file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OGM file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
