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 MP4 online free, no account required — MP4 is a widely supported video container, usually holding H.264 video and AAC audio.

About MP4
MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14) is a container format standardised by ISO. It usually holds H.264 or H.265 video with AAC audio, and it can also carry subtitles and chapter markers.
It is the most widely supported video format: phones, browsers, smart TVs and video sites all play it.
The video inside an MP4 is almost always compressed with a lossy codec, so every re-encode loses a little quality.
Why convert video to MP4? Almost every device, browser and platform plays it, so an MP4 almost never needs a second conversion.
