	~~'''.OGG''', or Ogg (see~~ [[Wikipedia:Ogg\|Ogg file format]]), is a file format for compressed multimedia files and a popular competitor to [[Wikipedia:Mp3\|.MP3]]. Unlike MP3, Ogg uses an open-source, open-standard format and a permissive license, both of which allow it to be incorporated into the FS2_Open source code. Also unlike MP3, Ogg is a [[Wikipedia:Container_format\|container format]], meaning that it can contain video data (via the [[Wikipedia:Theora\|Theora codec ]]) in addition to audio data (via the [[Wikipedia:Vorbis\|Vorbis codec]]).		#REDIRECT [[Multimedia Files]]

	Since Ogg delivers significantly smaller file sizes than [[Wikipedia:Wav\|.WAV]], while retaining substantially the same level of audio quality, it is becoming more and more frequently used in FSO-targeted mods. Ogg is not, however, a lossless format -- i.e., it is not possible to exactly reconstruct the original data from an .OGG file because some is "lost" in the conversion process. This is not usually a problem, however, because a high-quality .OGG file is usually indistinguishable from the source. A popular lossless alternative to Ogg Vorbis is [[Wikipedia:Free_Lossless_Audio_Codec\|.FLAC]].
