About FLAC to OGV Conversion
OGV is the video variant of the OGG container, typically containing Theora video and Vorbis audio. Converting FLAC to OGV creates an audio-only OGV file with Vorbis-encoded audio. This is an unusual conversion primarily relevant for web contexts where OGV is the expected media format, particularly for older HTML5 video implementations that supported OGV as a fallback before MP4 became universally supported.
Why Convert FLAC to OGV?
In the early HTML5 era (2009-2013), Firefox and Chrome supported OGV but not MP4 due to patent concerns. Some web applications built during that period still require OGV files. Additionally, certain academic and government websites that mandated open-format media may have OGV-only media pipelines. Wikipedia's media uploads historically preferred OGV over MP4 for patent-freedom reasons.
Common Use Cases
- Uploading audio to Wikimedia Commons which historically preferred OGG/OGV formats
- Supplying audio-only media files to web systems built during the HTML5 format war era
- Creating open-format media for government or academic websites with patent-free mandates
