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. ### Timeline - 2002-10-01: the official ChangeLog has an entry for v0.951, showing public releases by this date. - 2003-03-01: v1.0.0 was released. - 2004-11-07: v1.5 was released. ### Related projects - Related projects and tools include Ogg/Vorbis, mencoder, mplayer, oggenc, and Bunkus's later Matroska tooling. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.executables - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** ogmtools - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - ogmtools - 1:1.5-6: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: ogmtools from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Tools for manipulating Ogg multimedia streams | https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/ogmtools/ - Nix - ogmtools: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/og/ogmtools/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - ogmtools - 1:1.5-4.1build2: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: ogmtools from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Tools for manipulating Ogg multimedia streams - dnf - ogmtools - 1.5-41.fc44: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: ogmtools from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | Tools for Ogg media streams | https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/ogmtools - pacman - ogmtools - 1.5-12: normalized package name match | Arch Linux sync databases: ogmtools from https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz | Information, extraction or creation for OGG media streams | https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/ogmtools - zypper - ogmtools - 1.5-169.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: ogmtools from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | Tools for OGG Media Streams | https://www.bunkus.org/videotools/ogmtools/ - MacPorts - ogmtools: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: multimedia/ogmtools/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Media and graphics packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/media-graphics-tools/) - Matched media, image, audio, video, or graphics metadata. - [oggz](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/oggz/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: audio-video, cli, media, ogg. - [mlt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mlt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: audio-video, cli, media, video. - [ccextractor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ccextractor/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, video. - [ffmpeg2theora](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ffmpeg2theora/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, ogg, video. - [handbrake](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/handbrake/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, video. - [media-info](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/media-info/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, video. - [mkvdts2ac3](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/mkvdts2ac3/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: audio-video, cli, media. - [yt-dlp](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/yt-dlp/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, media, video. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
