What is OGV file?
OGV (Ogg Video File) is a file extension used for video files created with the Theora Video Compression format, using the .ogv extension. It is a free, open source codec based on the VP3 video codec, developed mainly by the Xiph.org Foundation. Developed as an alternative to commercial codecs, OGV video files are comparable in quality to MPEG-4 and other popular video file formats. OGV files are commonly used in web streaming applications as the native video format for HTML5 web browsers. [ ⏩ ] OGV file extension
What is MOV file?
The MOV (MOV) file format is a commonly-used container for digital multimedia on the Apple Macintosh platform. It is based on the QuickTime movie (QuickTime) container format developed by Apple Inc. and standardized in SMPTE's RFC 2326. The MOV format is currently used to store both audio and video data, as well as meta data for interactive applications. The MOV file format can support video up to 8-bits per pixel and audio up to 16-bits per sample. [ ⏩ ] MOV file extension
How to convert the file from OGV to MOV?
To successfully convert the OGV file to MOV, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.OGV). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case MOV (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than MOV).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. OGV to MOV. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting OGV files to MOV files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension MOV, while before this step we had the OGV file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new MOV file, or not.
