This flash video format is defined by the Adobe systems and is commonly used for online videos. There are multiple users of the flash video format such as YouTube, Hulu, VEVO, Yahoo! and other services that you serf online on your iPhone, iPad, or laptop. One can access the flash video on various operating systems by enabling the Adobe Flash Player and web browser plugin or other third-party programs except for iOS.

FLV files use the H.263 standard under the Sorenson Spark (FourCCFLV1) codec, and there are various reasons for it, such as;

• These are the first codec files that are supported by Flash Player.
• The heavy usage throughout other versions being able to support this same codec.

The audio can be recorded over the video using a microphone and Nellymoser Asao codec. By using the bitmap tile and lossy compression while reducing color depth, the screen share is possible. But the primary difference is that the screen share done by the 2nd way is only compatible with Flash Player 8.

The OGV extension is a video file format designed to play web video files in the HTML5 video tag. The format contains video extensions but is generally referenced as OGG in the HTML source code.

OGV video files are saved in the OGG open-source container from Xiph.Org and feature video streams that can use various codecs, including Dirac, Theora and Daala. Essentially, these are webpage video files but the developer has codec packs that allow creators to use OGV files in commercial and open-source applications. OGV files also contain audio extensions.

How to create and how to open an OGV file

Creating an OGV file requires a program that allows you to save the video in OGV format. Many video editors can save in OGV, so all you need is a reliable video creator and editor application. You can also create OGV videos from your MP4 and MPEG files using a video converter. There are several online and downloadable converters available for creators.

Opening an OGV file should be dauntless as there are many video players that support the format. Windows and Mac users can open OGV files using VLC, File Viewer Plus, MPlayer, JRiver Media Center, MPUI and Media Player Classic (with K-Lite Codec). You can also use popular video editors like Movavi or stream the video online.

Which other formats OGV can be converted into and why

You can convert OGV files to other formats and vice versa. All you need is a reliable video converter or editor. Some of the formats available for conversion include

1. 1. MP4/MPEG
2. 2. AVI
3. 3. MOV
4. 4. PNG

OGV files are popular online and mostly used on websites. Not many players support the format, so you might want to convert to MP4, AVI or other formats you can use on your phone and computer. However, OGV files are much smaller and easier to work with when you need to save space and bandwidth, although it is a lossy format that trims some elements during compression.

Converting to or from OGV will depend on what you want to achieve. OGV files are highly compressed but may offer lower quality compared to other formats. It is ideal for video creation in editors and online streaming on websites. However, if you want to watch videos on your phone or computer, you’ll need a player that supports OGV or convert to other proprietary formats.
