Format OGV
The OGV (Ogg Video) format is a free video container format developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation as part of the Ogg project. Launched in the early 2000s, it is part of an initiative to create free formats.
Technically, OGV primarily uses the Theora video codec for video compression and Vorbis for audio. This combination allows for satisfactory quality while maintaining reasonable file sizes. The format supports various resolutions and frame rates, offering considerable flexibility for different uses.
OGV has particularly stood out in the world of the open web, notably due to its adoption by Mozilla and its native integration into Firefox. It is widely used for streaming video content on websites, alternative streaming platforms, and open source projects. Its royalty-free nature makes it a preferred choice for content creators concerned with licensing and software freedom issues.
Although its compression performance doesn't always compete with more recent codecs like H.264 or VP9, OGV retains significant advantages: no royalties, native compatibility with many browsers and open source media players, and excellent support on Linux systems. However, its adoption remains limited on mobile platforms and proprietary systems, where other formats like MP4 still dominate the market.
Format MP4
The MP4 format (MPEG-4 Part 14) is one of the most widespread video formats, developed by MPEG in 2001. Originating from Apple's QuickTime container format, it is part of the MPEG-4 standard and quickly established itself as an industry standard due to its versatility and efficiency.
This container format can encapsulate various types of data: video (mainly in H.264/AVC or H.265/HEVC codecs), audio (AAC, MP3), subtitles, and metadata. Its strength lies in its ability to maintain excellent visual quality while offering efficient compression rates, allowing for reasonably sized files. This makes it the ideal format for online streaming, video sharing on social networks, and digital content distribution.
MP4 enjoys universal compatibility, being supported by most media players, web browsers, smartphones, and tablets. It is especially appreciated for its robustness in adaptive streaming, notably with HLS and DASH protocols.
Its main limitations concern the file size, which remains significant for videos in very high quality, and the fact that some advanced codecs require licenses for commercial use. Despite these constraints, MP4 remains the preferred format for digital video distribution, combining quality, compatibility, and efficiency.
