OGV uses the Theora video codec inside an OGG container, representing the Xiph.Org Foundation's royalty-free video format. Theora was the open-source community's answer to patented codecs like H.264 during the early web video era. While largely superseded by VP9 and AV1 for practical use, OGV remains required for Wikimedia Commons uploads and platforms with strict patent-free media policies.
The primary reason for converting 3GPP to OGV is institutional compliance with open-content or royalty-free media mandates. Wikimedia Commons — the media repository behind Wikipedia — requires video uploads to use patent-free codecs, with Theora/Vorbis in OGV being one of the accepted formats. Government agencies and educational institutions with similar policies may also require OGV.
For open-source software documentation and tutorials, distributing video in a completely royalty-free format aligns with the project's philosophical principles and avoids any potential patent licensing issues.
FFmpeg decodes the 3GPP source and encodes video using libtheora and audio using libvorbis, both in an OGG container. Theora quality ranges from 0 to 10, with 5-7 being typical. Theora is a less efficient codec than H.264 or VP9, so file sizes will be proportionally larger for similar visual quality.
Theora produces reasonable quality at 3GPP's low resolutions. The small frame sizes (176x144 to 352x288) mean there is little visual information to encode, so even Theora's less efficient compression handles it adequately. At quality 5-6, the output is visually comparable to the 3GPP source. Vorbis audio at 128 kbps is transparent.

3GPP to OGV is a niche conversion for open-content and patent-free media requirements. For general purposes, WebM (VP9+Opus) is the superior open-source format.
