When it holds vorbis-encoded audio, the file is called "ogg vorbis" - vorbis is the name of an audio compression code. The actual video codec used is called theora. This ogg file has theora-encoded video and vorbis-encoded audio.

This means VLC, for one, can play this file, but its performance lags a little.
