Before 2007, OGG files were used to store various types of media, but
since then the Xiph.Org Foundation recommends that OGG files store only
audio data. Now, you will most likely encounter only OGG files that
store audio data compressed with Vorbis compression. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Since the file is already compressed the reason for your stuttering is that the player is trying to uncompress while playing and appears not to be powerful enough to do it smoothly. I think what you should be doing is uncompressing the file into its full uncompressed file size, then the video player doesn't have to do the work any more. The actual uncompress work would be done by ffmpeg which will probably take a long time. Changing the scale might help, but trying to reconvert it to another format is just going to make it bigger every time and probably still stutter.</div><div><br></div><div>Since I've never tried to uncompress a video file, I don't know what the settings would be.
