About Ogg Video
Ogg Video (OGV) is the open Ogg container from the Xiph.Org Foundation holding Theora video, usually with Vorbis audio.
Open-source projects and Wikimedia Commons, which accepts video only in free formats.
Theora compresses less efficiently than modern codecs, and Apple devices do not play OGV natively.
Convert Ogg Video to AAC online free, no account required — AAC is the lossy audio codec that succeeded MP3.
Change Ogg Video to AAC without losing quality — convert Ogg Video to AAC free in your browser.
Why won't my video editor or iPhone open my OGV file? The Theora-based format never left the browser world, so most hardware and software can't decode it — converting to MP4 or WebM makes it playable.
About AAC
AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the lossy audio codec standardised in MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 as the successor to MP3; at the same bitrate it generally sounds better than MP3.
It is the audio in most MP4 videos, in Apple Music and on YouTube; a .aac file is a bare AAC stream without a container.
A bare .aac stream has only limited room for tags and cover art, so music players usually expect AAC inside an M4A file.
Why convert music to AAC instead of MP3? At the same bitrate AAC sounds better, and every modern phone, computer and streaming service decodes it.
What changes when you convert Ogg Video to AAC
- The soundtrack of the Ogg Video is re-encoded as AAC at the default settings, so it is close to the original but not bit-identical.
- Only the sound is kept: the AAC file contains the audio track of your Ogg Video, and the picture is dropped.
