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 AVI
The Audio Video Interleave format was developed by Microsoft in 1992 as part of their Video for Windows initiative.
This media container allows for the simultaneous storage of audio and video data in a single file, interleaving them for synchronized playback. Its structure, based on the RIFF format, offers great flexibility in the choice of codecs used for compression.
AVI quickly became a video standard in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly appreciated for its broad compatibility with Windows systems and its ability to maintain high video quality. It supports various resolutions and can contain videos encoded with different codecs like DivX, XviD, or MPEG-2, thus offering significant flexibility to content creators.
Despite its historical advantages, AVI has certain technical limitations. It does not natively support embedded subtitles, chapters, or advanced metadata, and it can struggle with videos over 2 GB due to its indexing structure.
These constraints, combined with the emergence of more modern formats like MP4 and MKV, have gradually reduced its use. Nevertheless, AVI remains widely supported by most media players and continues to be used in certain contexts, particularly for archiving uncompressed videos or compatibility with older systems.
