How to open OGS file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OGS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Ant Movie Catalog

Programs to open OGS file
Remember to download programs supporting OGS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ant Movie Catalog with OGS files
If, despite the installed application, the OGS file does not start in the Ant Movie Catalog application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ant Movie Catalog application as the default for handling the OGS file.
Step 3. Update Ant Movie Catalog to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ant Movie Catalog program, it is possible that Origons Movie Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Antoine Potten website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OGS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The OGS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OGS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OGS file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected OGS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of OGS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OGS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Origons, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OGS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the OGS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OGS to close. However, some background programs may block the OGS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
