Why convert OGV to WEBM?
- The new format may support a feature the source container does not.
- The result can be reviewed without changing the file that other people still use.
- WebM is more appropriate for the target application, device, or delivery channel than OGV.
- Compatibility is the main reason to convert when another person or service cannot open the source.
Will quality change?
WebM output uses a standard video codec and may drop subtitle, attachment, or metadata tracks. Test playback on the target device. Keep the source if you may need to adjust the conversion later.
