What is an OGM file?

OGM files mostly belong to VLC by VideoLAN. OGM is a video file format for embedding video streams into an OGG-based multimedia container file. A file with OGM filename extension contains one or more video/audio streams, subtitles, and metadata. OGM media containers may include lossy or lossless video and audio content. These videos are typically encoded with Dirac or Dala for lossy/lossless compression while Theora is only used for the lossy compression of OGM videos. Its audio data use FLAC or OggPCM lossless compression and Vorbis, Speex, and Opus codecs for lossy compression. OGM was developed to encode Ogg Vorbis audio and arbitrary video codecs into an OGG media container file. Internet media types for OGM include video/ogg, audio/ogg, and application/ogg. OGM filename extension is also associated with matrix data files created by Origin, a data analysis program. An OGM matrix data file contains one or more matrix sheets consisting of columns, rows, mathematical functions, and formatting information.

How to open an OGM file

You need a suitable software like VLC to open an OGM file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your OGM file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a OGM file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

OGM file format:

The file format, which is the arrangement and type of data in a file, determines which program can open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the OGM files looks like this:

OGM is seldom used as a file extension and is mainly used by one program with a specific format. The two most popular formats are as follows:

70% of all OGM files are OGG Media stream files, which are using the popular Ogg file format. The Ogg format is an audio file format similar to MP3, but unrestricted by software patents. They consist of unreadable binary data. The files are on average 70 MB in size and range from 10 KB to 240 MB. The file type was created 10 years ago, but is still used today. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as OggS, vorbis, video and XVID8. Files like these have the following tags: music, requiem, gakuen, tantei, dragon, black, intro, ball, japones, dvdrip, galego and divx.
4% of all OGM files have the same signature 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 10. The contents of these files cannot be read by a human; only a computer program can interpret the data. The average file size is 34 KB with most files being between 12 KB and 50 KB in size.

The remaining 26% of all OGM files are files with no common format. They are often associated with mess, sound, mensajes, hobbes, trigun, vorbis, anime, piece or logo. Just click the "Choose your .ogm file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your OGM file is.
