OGV (Ogg Video File) is a file extension used for video files created with the Theora Video Compression format, using the .ogv extension. It is a free, open source codec based on the VP3 video codec, developed mainly by the Xiph.org Foundation. Developed as an alternative to commercial codecs, OGV video files are comparable in quality to MPEG-4 and other popular video file formats.
OGV files are commonly used in web streaming applications as the native video format for HTML5 web browsers. This makes it effortlessly compatible with the majority of popular internet browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera. Additionally, as OGV is an open source file format, it requires little or no encoding before the video can be uploaded to various websites.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OGV) 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 .OGV 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 .OGV 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 .OGV 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 .OGV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OGV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OGV 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 .OGV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OGV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OGV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
