%%%can confirm this.
afaik the ogg container can hold audio/video/text/metadata or any combination of these.
".ogg" could easily be added to the list of movie filextensions ("imb_ext_movie- [ ]") but an underlying problem is that - without further changes - a fileentry in blender is only flagged as one type [ so for example either of type "MOVIEFILE" or of type "SOUNDFILE" ].
".ogg" is already flagged as SOUNDFILE. If ".ogg" is added to imb_ext_movie- [ ], it wont be flagged as soundfile anymore...

maybe Elubie can decide on this?

P.S.: while looking at it I added ".webm" to the list of moviefileextensions (which at least in my ffmpeg/blender reads in fine) - see attached micropatch%%%

%%%I know there are video files around that use ogg, but according to Xiph.org, the .ogg extension should be reserved for audio (Ogg Vorbis I files)
At this point I wouldn't like to add checks in the file browser to actually look into the file for file type detection, so for now I decided to not add the .ogg file extension as a movie.

Will add the .webm movie though.%%%

%%%@Andrea, I strongly disagree with you. The .ogg suffix is actually used by many users even though the Xiph.org recommends us not to use it for movie files. In fact, Blender itself uses the .ogg suffix when writing Ogg movie file, so the Ogg movies we created with Blender cannot be found using the file browser.

%%%Reopening.

The inconsistency between writing and browsing is really bad. Ogg movie files created with Blender should be recognized by Blender itself.
Besides, Xiph.org defined another file extension .ogx for common usage. To support the .ogx file, looking into the actual file header cannot be avoided.

At least, the file extension used for writing Ogg movie files should be changed from .ogg to .ogv.

%%%Ok, I hear you :)

I have committed full fix now in rev. 61034.

.ogg is now recognized as both video and audio, depending on whether it contains a movie or not.
I also made Blender by default use .ogv when writing an animation in the ogg/theora format.

Can you give me a quick feedback if for you the functionality works ok now, so I can then close the bug report?

Thanks for reporting,
Andrea
