How to convert MOV to OGG
- Add your .MOV 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 an audio-only extraction: the video track of the MOV is discarded and cannot be recovered from the OGG.
- Vorbis is lossy; converting from an already-compressed soundtrack re-encodes it and loses a little more fidelity.
- OGG is not accepted by every device, so some players will still need a different audio format.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the video when I convert MOV to OGG?
OGG here is Ogg Vorbis, an audio-only format, so the conversion extracts the soundtrack and discards the video entirely. Only the audio from the MOV remains.
Is the audio quality reduced?
Vorbis is a lossy codec, so the extracted audio is re-encoded and some data is discarded. If the MOV's audio was already compressed (for example AAC), converting to Vorbis is a second lossy step and cannot restore what the earlier encode removed.
Why convert MOV to OGG?
Vorbis in an Ogg container is a free, patent-unencumbered audio format from Xiph.Org, chosen when you want just the sound in an open format for players and software that favor royalty-free codecs.
Where does an OGG file play?
VLC media player opens OGG on any platform, and foobar2000 or MediaMonkey play it on Windows. Some devices such as iPhones or car stereos reject OGG and need a different audio format instead.
