OGV uses Theora video and Vorbis audio — open-source codecs alien to the Windows Media ecosystem. WMV (Windows Media Video) is Microsoft's video format using VC-1 (WMV 9) or WMV2/WMV3 codecs in an ASF container. WMV was the default Windows video format from 1999 to 2012 and remains required by many legacy Windows applications and systems.
Legacy Windows Media Player installations, enterprise video platforms, Windows Movie Maker, and hardware devices built around Windows Media cannot play OGV. Converting to WMV makes open-source video compatible with the entire legacy Microsoft ecosystem.
This conversion is also needed for PowerPoint presentations on older Office versions (pre-2013) that embed WMV natively, and for Windows Media Center home theater setups.
FFmpeg decodes Theora video and Vorbis audio from the OGV container, then transcodes to VC-1 (wmv3) or WMV2 video with WMA audio in the ASF container. Bitrates range from 1-15 Mbps depending on resolution. Resolution up to 1080p is supported by VC-1. The ASF container uses a packet-based structure with a global header and data packets.
VC-1 in WMV is less efficient than H.264 but roughly comparable to Theora. At similar bitrates, the visual quality transition from Theora to VC-1 is neutral — neither a significant upgrade nor downgrade. Using adequate bitrates (3-5 Mbps for 720p) produces good results.
