Part 1: What are AVI and OGG?

Before answering that question, let's spare some time to warm up what are AVI and OGG respectively. AVI stands for Audio Video Interleave. Files of this format have an .avi extension and become so widespread that many people consider it the de-facto standard for storing video and audio information on PC. AVI combines audio and video into a single file in a standard container to allow simultaneous playback. Its advantage is a simple architecture, due to which AVI runs on a number of different systems like Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix and is supported by all of the most popular web-browsers.

Unlike AVI, the .OGG file format is a type of audio file that makes use of open source OGG Vorbis compression. It is supported by devices such as Archos and Samsung but is not supported by iOS devices. The .ogg format has been utilized for the provision of streaming audio. It provides medium to high quality audio at between 16 and 128 kbps/channel and is better quality sound than MP3.

To open AVI and OGG files, you need to turn to certain kind of media player. There are multiple media players you could turn to for playing AVI and OGG files, like Windows Media Player, VLC, Free Blu-ray Video Player, MPlayer, etc. The Free Blu-ray Video Player is highly recommended since it has a feature that other media players don't support. That's Blu-ray disc playback – Free Blu-ray Video Player could play back Blu-ray and DVD discs without being restricted by disc protection and region restrictions. It's the first free Blu-ray media player with region-free Blu-ray disc playback support in the world.
