Requirements
First you need playback software. By default you can use the Windows Media Player, but you need extra codecs (see below). Alternatively you can use the free VLC media player. They can play Ogg as installed.
Downloading required Codecs
Now you have to download a necessary extension (Codec), so that your media player will be able to play sound and video files with the Ogg Vorbis file type (sound files) and with the Ogg Theora file type (video files).
- Load the website xiph.org/dshow and click on the Download win32 installer.
- After you downloaded it to your hard disk, open the file and follow the installation guide.
Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome
An alternative is using Mozilla Firefox. Firefox 3.5 includes native support for Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora. To download, go here and click the "Free Download" button.
Another browser which include native support for Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Theora is Google Chrome 3. You can download it here.
