Understanding MKV and OGG file formats

The MKV (Matroska Video) file format is a flexible, open standard video file format that has quickly become the preferred file extension for high definition video on the Internet. It can hold an unlimited number of video, audio, picture, or subtitle tracks in one file. This makes it a popular choice for storing movies and TV shows.

On the other hand, the OGG file format is a free, open container format maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. It is primarily used for audio files and is known for its high-quality sound and efficient compression. OGG files are often used for streaming audio over the internet.

Why convert MKV to OGG?

Converting MKV to OGG is useful when you want to extract the audio track from a video file for use in audio-only applications or devices. This conversion is particularly beneficial if you want to save space or if your device only supports audio formats like OGG.
