OGV to MKV Converter

OGV is a video format that uses the Ogg container and typically employs Theora for video compression. It is part of the free and open Ogg multimedia framework. OGV is often used in web applications where open-source licensing is a priority. While not as efficient as newer formats like MP4 or WEBM, it is still supported in many web contexts and browsers that prioritize open standards. OGV is useful for preserving digital freedom and compatibility with open tools.

MKV (Matroska Video) is an open-source multimedia container that can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, subtitle tracks, and metadata in a single file. It supports high-quality video formats, making it popular for HD movie storage and streaming. MKV is flexible and widely used for online video distribution. It supports modern features like chapters, menus, and multiple language tracks. Though not natively supported by all systems, it’s compatible with VLC and other modern players.
