When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Convert legacy AVI audio to open format for Linux
Linux media players like Rhythmbox, Clementine, and Banshee natively manage OGG files. Convert audio from AVI videos to OGG for a patent-free file that fits naturally into Linux audio workflows without codec complications.
Extract AVI audio for web game sound assets
OGG Vorbis is natively supported via the HTML5 audio element in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Extract audio from AVI cutscene or video files to OGG for use as background music or sound effects in web games.
Modernize AVI audio for open-source project distribution
OGG has no patent or licensing restrictions. If you are distributing audio as part of an open-source project, converting from AVI to OGG ensures users on any platform can play it without licensing concerns.
