Convert MPEG to OGG

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert MPEG to OGG if your computer, phone or other device does not support MPEG format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

In January 1988, an expert working group on coding of moving images was formed within the framework of the joint information technology technical committee JTC1 of the International Organization for Standardization ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC, which was tasked with developing standards for image and sound coding with the aim of eliminating redundancy. MPEG compression standards were developed by Moving Picture Experts Group. This technology defines the compression standards for both audio and video information and makes it convenient for transmission in broadcast. There are many versions of the format - MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-3, MPEG-4, etc. MPEG-1 is a lossy compression standard for video and audio. It is designed to compress VHS. Perhaps everyone is familiar with the MPEG-2 format. It is this format that underlies DVD-Video discs. The MPEG-2 format is also the basis for digital television standards. The MPEG3 standard was originally developed for use in High Definition Television (HDTV) systems with a data rate of 20-40 Mbps. The new MPEG4 standard, which appeared at the very end of 1999, offers a broader view of media reality. The standard defines the principles for working with content (digital representation of media data) for three areas: interactive multimedia itself (including products distributed on optical discs and over the Internet), graphics applications (synthetic content) and digital television (DTV).

A .ogg file is a compressed audio data in the Ogg Vorbis format, which is a competitor to formats such as WMA, MP3, AAC, VQF. Developed relatively recently (mid-2002 - official release), it provides better sound quality at the same bit rate compared to the most common MP3 format. Those. with the same sound quality, the file size is smaller. Like all technologies developed under the Xiph.Org umbrella, the Ogg format is an open and free standard with no patent or license restrictions. The OGG extension is adapted for use by many audio players, including those based on mobile devices of the Android OS platform. By its structure, an OGG file is a repository of high quality media content. The Vorbis standard is closely related to, but not limited to, the format encoding algorithm. The Ogg vorbis format was developed by Xiphophorus. On the same site you can find the source codes of the project. It is part of the Ogg project to create a fully open source multimedia technology stack. The name of the format (Vorbis) comes from the name of the hero of the book by Terry Pratchett - Little Gods. An OGG file contains audio in the free and open source Ogg Vorbis format, which is used to compress music and other audio in medium to high quality. The Ogg media container is used to store Vorbis audio data.
