MKV and OGG explained
Matroska is a container designed to hold essentially anything: any codec, unlimited audio tracks, subtitle tracks, chapters and attachments in one file. It is the format of choice for archiving films with multiple languages.
OGG here means Ogg Vorbis, a royalty-free lossy codec that predates Opus. It is competitive with AAC and remains common in games.
- Where MKV files come from
- Media archives, anime and film collections, and high-quality recordings.
- Where OGG is used
- Game audio, Spotify's older streams and open-source projects.
