Difference between OGV and OGG

Question

I recently encountered a problem regarding the OGV file extension in Firefox. When using the extension in the source it returns a "No video with supported format or MIME types found" error in the player. But when just changing the extension from OGV to OGG it works. I didn't add the AddType in Apache.

Are the extensions interchangeable? Why does changing the extension from OGV to OGG works? Just a little confused.

OGV is for video, OGG is for audio, but they have the same MIME. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg — Raptor

check if your ogv-file plays in firefox (simply drag'n'drop the videofile to an open firefox-window). if it is playing normally, check if your server supports the MIME types and add them to your .htaccess file. check my answer here

Adding AddType to .htaccess seems to be not working for me the last time, but I'll give it another try. But if I just change the OGV to OGG extension, there is no problem with that right? Except for the fact that it's not pretty.
