When to Convert

Common scenarios where this conversion is useful

Extract audio from iPhone video for web game use

OGG is natively supported for HTML5 audio in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. If you recorded audio or music on your iPhone as a MOV video, convert to OGG to use it as a sound effect or background music in a web game.

Convert Final Cut Pro audio exports to open format

Final Cut Pro delivers video in MOV format. Extract audio as OGG to share in open-source contexts or distribute on Linux-based platforms where MOV and Apple formats have limited native support.

Create audio for Godot game projects

Godot Engine's primary streaming audio format is OGG Vorbis. Convert MOV video recordings — music, narration, sound design — to OGG to use them directly in Godot without additional conversion steps.

Add iPhone voice recordings to Linux music libraries

Linux audio players like Rhythmbox, Clementine, and Banshee natively manage OGG files. Convert MOV voice memos or music recordings from your iPhone to OGG for use on your Linux desktop.

Distribute royalty-free audio from QuickTime sources

OGG Vorbis has no patent or licensing fees. Developers and content creators distributing audio commercially or in open-source projects often prefer OGG to avoid legal complexity around proprietary codecs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can OGG play on Mac or iOS?

macOS does not natively support OGG, but VLC and most third-party media players on Mac play OGG without issue. iOS also lacks native OGG support but VLC for iOS handles it. For Apple-native playback, M4A is a better choice.

Is there quality loss converting MOV to OGG?

Yes. OGG Vorbis is a lossy codec. Converting from MOV (which often contains AAC or PCM audio) to OGG Vorbis involves re-encoding. At high quality settings (q5 or above), the quality difference is minimal.

Does OGG work in web browsers?

OGG Vorbis is natively supported in Chrome, Firefox, and Edge via the HTML5 audio element. Safari support has improved in recent versions. For maximum browser compatibility, serve both OGG and MP3 or AAC.

Is OGG Vorbis completely free to use?

Yes. OGG Vorbis is fully open-source with no patents, royalties, or licensing restrictions. It can be used freely in any commercial or open-source project.

What bitrate will the OGG output use?

FFmpeg uses a high quality Vorbis VBR setting by default, approximately equivalent to 192 kbps average bitrate. The actual bitrate varies based on audio content complexity.

Does Godot support OGG from MOV-converted files?

Yes. Godot Engine imports OGG Vorbis files directly as streaming audio assets. Simply convert your MOV audio to OGG and import the .ogg file into your Godot project's audio folder.

What metadata does OGG support?

OGG files use Vorbis comment tags, which support artist, album, title, track number, and other standard fields. Metadata from the MOV container may partially transfer, and you can edit tags using tools like MusicBrainz Picard or Kid3.

Is this converter free?

Yes. ChangeThisFile is completely free with no signup and no conversion limits.

Can I convert MOV files from my iPhone to OGG on mobile?

Yes. The converter works in Safari on iPhone. Upload your MOV file from the Photos or Files app and download the OGG result directly to your device.

Are my MOV files deleted after conversion?

Yes. Both the uploaded MOV and the converted OGG are automatically deleted from our servers immediately after you download. We never store your files.
