OGG to MP4 Conversion

OGG files typically use OGG Vorbis audio codec. When converting to MP4, the audio is re-encoded using AAC audio codec, and video is added using H.264 video codec. The conversion process re-encodes the audio and adds visual elements (images or waveforms) to create a video file. The resulting MP4 file contains both audio and video tracks, making it suitable for video platforms.

Format Limitations

OGG has some limitations compared to MP4: it only contains audio, so video information needs to be added during conversion. OGG may not work on all devices, especially iOS devices. Some older media players may not support OGG. However, converting OGG to MP4 makes the content more accessible on modern devices and platforms.
