MOV is Apple's QuickTime container using modern codecs like H.264 and HEVC. OGV (Ogg Video) is Xiph.org's open-source video container using Theora video with Vorbis audio. Theora is based on On2 Technologies' VP3 codec, donated to the open-source community in 2001, and was the first completely royalty-free video codec with broad browser support.
OGV was historically important for HTML5 video in Firefox and Chrome before these browsers added H.264 support. Today, OGV remains used in open-source projects, Wikipedia (which exclusively uses open formats), and educational platforms that require royalty-free media. Wikimedia Commons, the world's largest open media repository, accepts OGV as its primary video format.
Converting MOV to OGV enables contributing Apple-captured video to open-source platforms without proprietary codec dependencies.
FFmpeg decodes the MOV's H.264/HEVC video and AAC audio, then encodes to Theora video using libtheora and Vorbis audio using libvorbis, wrapping both in the OGG container. Theora encoding quality is controlled by -q:v (0-10 scale). Resolution is typically kept at source dimensions but Theora performs best at 720p or below. The OGG container uses page-based multiplexing with interleaved audio and video streams.
Theora is significantly less efficient than H.264 — expect larger files at comparable quality, or lower quality at comparable file sizes. Theora at quality 7 roughly matches H.264 at CRF 28 in visual quality but at approximately 40% more bitrate. For archival purposes on open platforms, the quality tradeoff is acceptable.
