About formats

OGV (Ogg Video) is an open multimedia format that combines the Theora video codec with the Ogg container, both developed by the Xiph.Org Foundation as royalty-free alternatives to proprietary media formats. Theora 1.0 reached stable release in November 2008, though development had been underway since 2002 based on the VP3 codec donated by On2 Technologies. Theora compresses video using block-based motion compensation with discrete cosine transform coding, achieving quality roughly comparable to MPEG-4 Part 2 at similar bit rates. The Ogg container uses a page-based multiplexing scheme that interleaves Theora video with Vorbis or Opus audio, supporting features like chained streams for seamless concatenation and multiplexed streams for synchronized multimedia playback. OGV was historically significant in the push for open web standards, serving as one of the first freely implementable video formats proposed for the HTML5 video element. Firefox and Chrome both shipped native OGV support, demonstrating that web video could function without reliance on proprietary plugins or licensed codecs. The format also supports FLAC lossless audio, Kate subtitle streams, and Skeleton metadata within the Ogg container. While WebM and AV1 have largely replaced OGV in the open-source video landscape, the format remains available in Linux distributions, open-source media tools, and contexts where complete freedom from patent concerns is a priority.
Initial release: November 3, 2008
SMP is the native file format of SampleVision, a sample editing application developed by Turtle Beach Systems around 1990. SampleVision was among the first PC-based visual sample editors, letting musicians view waveforms on screen and perform cut, copy, paste, and loop-point editing — capabilities previously limited to expensive dedicated hardware samplers. The SMP format stores 16-bit mono PCM audio along with sampling-specific metadata: loop start and end points, sustain loops, release loops, and MIDI root note assignments. This made SMP files directly useful for creating and exchanging patches between hardware samplers via MIDI Sample Dump Standard (SDS) transfers, which SampleVision automated through its interface. A primary advantage was bridging the PC world with professional sampling hardware from Akai, E-mu, Ensoniq, and Roland — devices that had tiny screens and minimal editing tools. The format also supported common sample rates (22050, 44100 Hz) and brief text descriptions alongside audio data. Though Turtle Beach pivoted to gaming peripherals and SampleVision was discontinued, SMP files persist in vintage sample library archives and can be converted using SoX.
