The audio compression component is usually Vorbis, which is somewhat akin to MP3, except it is a open-source, open-standard format. The advantage over WAV is smaller file sizes, but with a minimal loss in quality (depending on what quality settings are used). Vorbis uses a quality parameter from -1 to 10, 5 being the default (about 160kbps). Lower numbers are lower quality. Despite what some people may think, 10 is not lossless, use FLAC for this.

The video compression component is Theora, again being a open-source, open-standard format.
 
 
 
Audacity and Goldwave are two popular programs that allow .WAV files to be converted to OGG Vorbis files.
