Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cheese

Cheese records Ogg Theora videos as files with the older .ogg extension.

>From wikipedia:

"The term ‘Ogg’ is commonly used to refer to audio file format Ogg Vorbis, that 
is, Vorbis-encoded audio in the Ogg container. Previously, the .ogg file 
extension was used for any content distributed within Ogg, but as of 2007, the 
Xiph.Org Foundation requests that .ogg be used only for Vorbis due to 
backwards-compatibility concerns. The Xiph.Org Foundation decided to create a 
new set of file extensions and media types to describe different types of 
content such as .oga for audio, .ogv for video (including Theora), and .ogx for 
applications."
