How to Convert Ogg to MP4 with Detailed Steps

Can You Convert Ogg to MP4?

Short answer: Yes, you can.

The full name of Ogg is OGG Vorbis, which is an audio compression format, similar to music formats such as MP3. But one difference is that it is completely free, open and without patent restrictions. One feature of OGG Vorbis is that it supports multiple channels. And the OGG files can be played on any player. So you may see them a lot.

By comparison, MP4 is a set of compression coding standards for audio and video information. It was formulated by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The main uses of the MPEG-4 format are online streaming, CD-ROM, voice transmission (videotelephony), and TV broadcasting.

So converting an Ogg file to an MP4 file is actually about changing an audio file into a video file. More specifically, it is about adding one or some images to the Ogg file, making it an MP4 file. There are a bunch of tools on the market which can help you with it. But what you need to notice when choosing them is about how the tool enables you to deal with the image(s). To make it clearer, some tools will use their default image(s) to make the MP4 file, and you cannot use your own ones if you would like to, while some tools will let you do that, making this job more funny.

Anyway, both kinds of tools will be recommended in the following. Keep reading and choosing the one which you prefer.

However, when it comes to the online Ogg to MP4 tools, almost all of them do not provide the option of customizing the video image(s) and other editing features, like adding lyric texts.
