    How to open files with the extension of

    • .ogg (Ogg Vorbis)
    • .oga (Vorbis)
    • .ogv (Theora encoded video)
    • .ogx
    • .flac (Free Lossless Audio Codec)

    In order to enable support for Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora, Ogg Speex and FLAC, user needs to download and install the appropriate codec, which allows players such as Media Player Classic, RealPlayer, WinAmp and so on to play the files with the above extensions.

    These codecs are available from Xiph.org and are called DirectShow Filters.

    The DirectShow Filters for Ogg Vorbis, Speex, Theora and FLAC is available from http://xiph.org/dshow/downloads/.

    Downloads are available for both, 32 bit as well as 64 bit Windows. Download the file and follow the steps listed.

    Then Windows Media Player or any other DirectShow application (e.g. BSPlayer) will be able to play Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Speex, Ogg Theora, Ogg FLAC and native FLAC files.
