How to convert FLV to OGG
- Add your .FLV file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .OGG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .OGG file.
What to expect
- This is audio extraction: the video track is dropped and only a Vorbis audio stream remains in the Ogg container.
- The audio is re-encoded to Vorbis (lossy); re-encoding already-compressed FLV audio can add compression artifacts.
- OGG is an open, patent-free format but is not natively supported on some devices such as iPhones and many car stereos.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the video when converting FLV to OGG?
OGG here is an audio-only format (Vorbis in an Ogg container), so the video is discarded entirely and only the soundtrack is kept. The audio is re-encoded to Vorbis, which is a lossy step.
Why convert FLV to OGG?
Converting extracts just the audio from an FLV into a free, patent-unencumbered format, useful when you only need the sound. Vorbis is an open alternative to MP3.
What plays an OGG file?
VLC media player opens it on any platform, and foobar2000 or MediaMonkey handle it on Windows. Some devices such as iPhones and car stereos may not support OGG natively.
Is any quality lost in the audio?
Yes. The FLV's MP3 or AAC audio is re-encoded to Vorbis, and re-encoding from one lossy format to another can compound compression artifacts.
