The Ogg Multiplexed Media (OGX) format is an open-standard multimedia container developed and maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It is primarily used to encapsulate multiple data streams, including Vorbis audio and Theora video, into a single bitstream for synchronized playback and streaming. As a non-proprietary format, OGX is considered safe and low-risk, although users should update media players to prevent potential vulnerabilities arising from malicious code embedded in malformed bitstreams or codec implementations.
