Convert M4V to OGG — Free Online Converter

M4V is Apple's MPEG-4 video container with H.264 video and AAC audio, while OGG is a free, open-source audio container that typically carries Vorbis or Opus compressed audio. Converting M4V to OGG extracts the audio track and re-encodes it using the Vorbis codec, producing files that are fully open-source and patent-free. OGG Vorbis offers quality comparable to AAC at similar bitrates, making it a strong alternative for open-source and Linux-centric environments.

OGG Vorbis is the preferred audio format in the open-source world. Linux distributions, Firefox, Chromium, and many open-source applications support OGG natively without requiring proprietary codecs. If you are building audio collections for Linux systems, web applications, or game engines (Unity, Godot, and Unreal all prefer OGG for audio assets), converting M4V audio to OGG ensures broad compatibility without patent concerns.
