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 MOV online free, no account required — MOV is Apple's QuickTime video container.
Change Ogg Video to MOV without losing quality — convert Ogg Video to MOV 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 QuickTime (MOV)
MOV is the QuickTime container format from Apple. MP4 was based on it, so the two share the same structure, but MOV is also used for editing codecs such as Apple ProRes.
iPhones and many cameras record MOV, and editors such as Final Cut Pro export it.
Outside Apple software, MOV files that use ProRes or other professional codecs often do not play without extra software.
Why convert video to MOV? Mac-based editing is the reason: Final Cut Pro and QuickTime handle it natively, including professional codecs such as ProRes.
