Frequently Asked Questions

OGV (Ogg Video) is an open-source video container using Theora video codec and Vorbis audio. Developed by Xiph.org as a patent-free alternative to MP4/H.264, it was popular for web video before HTML5 standardized on MP4 and WebM.

OGV has limited device support—Safari, iOS, most smart TVs, and many video players don't support it. MP4 is universally compatible with all browsers, devices, and platforms. Converting ensures your video plays everywhere.

OGV files were common in open-source projects, Wikipedia videos, Linux applications, and early HTML5 web videos (2008-2012). Firefox and Chrome supported OGV before MP4/WebM became standard. Many archived web videos are in OGV format.

No. Safari on macOS and iOS doesn't support OGV playback. Converting to MP4 is required for Apple device compatibility. This was a major reason OGV lost popularity—it never worked on iPhones or iPads.

No. Theora (OGV's codec) is technically inferior to H.264 (MP4). At similar file sizes, H.264 provides better visual quality. OGV's advantage was being patent-free, not quality. Converting to MP4 typically improves playback compatibility without quality loss.

Yes! Wikipedia stores many educational videos in OGV format for open-source licensing reasons. Download the OGV file from Wikipedia and convert it here for playback on your devices.

Since OGV typically uses lower-quality Theora encoding, 'High Quality' MP4 output is usually sufficient. Using 'Best Quality' won't add detail beyond what the source contains, but ensures minimal re-encoding loss.

Yes. The Vorbis audio track in OGV files is converted to AAC audio in the MP4 output. Audio quality is preserved at high bitrates for clear playback.

OGG files can contain video (technically the same as OGV) or just audio. This tool handles OGG files with video content. For audio-only OGG files, use our OGG to MP3 converter instead.

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your video files never leave your device—completely private and secure.
