history

Project history and usage

OGMtools is Moritz Bunkus's command-line suite for OGG media streams, including tools to inspect, extract from, split, concatenate, and create OGM files.

Project history

The official OGMtools page describes the tools as providing information about, extraction from, and creation of OGG media streams, with OGM used as shorthand for OGG media streams. The README for OGMtools 1.5 says the base code was taken from the Ogg/Vorbis CVS repository at Xiph.Org.

The project belongs to the early-2000s Linux video-tooling era around Ogg Vorbis audio, mencoder, mplayer, subtitle streams, and Ogg-based multimedia containers.

Adoption history

The supplied package metadata records OGMtools in Homebrew, Debian, Fedora/dnf, MacPorts, Nix, Arch/pacman, Ubuntu, and zypper, showing a long-lived compatibility niche for old OGM media workflows.

How it is used

The suite includes ogminfo for stream information, ogmdemux for extracting component streams, ogmsplit for splitting files, ogmcat for concatenation, and ogmmerge for joining media streams into an OGM file.

The official README gives a DVD-ripping workflow using mencoder and mplayer to prepare streams, oggenc to encode audio, and ogmmerge to produce an OGM file.

Why package nerds care

OGMtools is useful package-history material because it preserves a transitional command-line media-container workflow between raw AVI/DVD ripping and later container formats.
