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.

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 Opus
Opus is an open, royalty-free lossy audio codec standardised by the IETF in 2012 (RFC 6716). It handles both speech and music well, from very low to high bitrates.
Voice and video calls, WhatsApp voice messages, WebRTC, and the audio track of WebM videos.
Opus always decodes at 48 kHz, and some older players and devices do not support it.
Why convert voice recordings to Opus? It stays clear at very low bitrates, so calls and dictation shrink dramatically without becoming hard to understand.
