The Ogg Video (OGV) format is an open-source multimedia container developed and maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It is primarily utilized for streaming digital video content over the internet and is natively supported by many modern web browsers and open-source media players. As a royalty-free alternative to proprietary standards, OGV is considered safe for general use, though it has largely been superseded by more efficient codecs like WebM in contemporary web development.
