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 MPEG online free, no account required — MPEG is the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 video format behind Video CD and DVD.
Change Ogg Video to MPEG without losing quality — convert Ogg Video to MPEG 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 MPEG
MPEG files (.mpg, .mpeg) are MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 program streams, the standards behind Video CD and DVD video.
Older camcorders, DVD-era video files and broadcast archives.
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compress far less efficiently than H.264, so the files are large for their quality.
Why convert video to MPEG-2? DVDs and some broadcast hardware only accept it, so disc authoring still requires it.
