Should you convert MP4 to OGG?

You want the audio from a video as royalty-free Ogg Vorbis for a game or open-source app.

Yes, when you only need the sound: a song from a music video, the audio of a lecture, or a voice recording to transcribe. The picture is left out and the soundtrack is saved as OGG.

MP4 is the video container that plays on everything, usually holding H.264 video and AAC audio; OGG is open-source lossy audio, common in games and on Android. Use OGG for game engines, Android apps and open-source projects that prefer free formats.

How to convert MP4 to OGG

  1. 01

    Add your MP4

    Drop your MP4 video onto the box, or click to choose it. It is read from your disk and stays there.

  2. 02

    Check the settings

    The output is already set to OGG. Change the bitrate if you want to; the defaults suit most files.

  3. 03

    Save the OGG

    Press convert and save the OGG. Several files come back together as a ZIP.

What changes when MP4 becomes OGG

From AAC to Vorbis

MP4 soundtracks are usually AAC, so saving OGG is one more lossy step. 192 kbps suits music, 128 kbps is plenty for speech, and going above the original bitrate only makes the file bigger.

Video files without sound

Screen recordings and some exported clips have no audio track at all. The file is checked as soon as you add it, and you’ll be told before converting if there’s nothing to extract.

This page is put together from our notes on each format, choosing only what is true of MP4 and OGG, so every pairing states the same facts the same way. How these pages are made.

Why it doesn’t upload

Uploading a whole video to keep only its sound wastes time and data, and hands over the footage too. The audio track is read and saved right here, and the file never leaves your device.

How to check for yourself

Worth knowing

  • About the MP4. An MP4 that won’t play is rarely broken; it usually holds a newer codec such as HEVC or AV1 that the player doesn’t support.
  • About the OGG. The .ogg extension can hold Vorbis, Opus or FLAC audio, so one OGG plays in a player and the next doesn’t.
  • AVI, WMV, FLV and other older formats use the FFmpeg engine, a one-time 31 MB download.

Questions

Does extracting OGG from an MP4 lose quality?

The soundtrack is compressed again as OGG. At 192 kbps the difference from the original is inaudible for nearly everyone.

Can I get the audio from only part of the video?

Yes. Set a start and end time before converting, and only that section is saved as OGG.
