Need Audio from Your AVI Files?

You have AVI video files with audio you want to use-background music, voice recordings, sound effects. But AVI is a video container, and you need just the audio in a format that works everywhere without licensing headaches.

OGG Vorbis is the answer. It's the royalty-free audio format used across game engines, web applications, and open-source projects. Unlike MP3 with its historical patent baggage, OGG is completely free to use in any project-commercial or personal.

If you're working with AVI files and need clean audio extraction, converting to OGG gives you smaller files with better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate.

How to Convert AVI to OGG

  1. Upload your AVI file - Drag and drop or click to select your video
  2. Select OGG as output - We'll extract the audio track and encode it as OGG Vorbis
  3. Download your audio - Your OGG file is ready for games, websites, or any project

The entire process happens in your browser. No software to install, no account required, no waiting.

Why OGG Instead of MP3?

When extracting audio from video, you have choices. Here's why OGG often makes more sense than the obvious MP3 option:

Better Quality at Lower Bitrates

In our testing, OGG Vorbis at 128kbps sounds comparable to MP3 at 192kbps. That means smaller files without sacrificing audio quality-crucial when you're bundling audio into games or loading files over the web.

No Licensing Concerns

MP3 patents have technically expired, but OGG was designed from the ground up as a free, open format. If you're building commercial software, games, or apps, OGG eliminates any lingering uncertainty.

Variable Bitrate by Default

OGG automatically adjusts bitrate based on audio complexity. Quiet passages use less data; complex sections get more. This intelligent compression keeps files small without quality compromises.

Need MP3 instead? You can also convert AVI to MP3 if your project specifically requires it.

Perfect for Game Development

Game developers love OGG Vorbis. Here's why the format dominates game audio:

  • Unity, Godot, Unreal - All major game engines support OGG natively
  • Small file sizes - Critical when players are downloading your game
  • No royalties - Ship your game without worrying about audio licensing fees
  • Quality preservation - Background music and sound effects stay crisp

In our testing with a 3-minute AVI video, the extracted OGG audio was about 40% smaller than the equivalent MP3 at similar perceived quality. For a game with hundreds of audio files, that adds up fast.

HTML5 Web Audio Support

Building a web application or browser-based game? OGG is your friend:

  • Chrome - Full native OGG support
  • Firefox - Full native OGG support
  • Edge - Full native OGG support
  • Safari - Limited support (provide MP3 fallback)

For maximum browser compatibility, many developers encode audio as both OGG and MP3, using OGG as the primary format and MP3 as fallback. But if you're targeting Chrome and Firefox users primarily, OGG alone works great.

Common Use Cases

Extracting Game Audio from Video Captures

Recorded gameplay footage with commentary? Extract just the audio as OGG for use in podcasts, compilations, or other videos without keeping the entire video file.

Voice Recording Archival

Have voice recordings embedded in AVI files? Converting to OGG gives you smaller, more portable audio files while maintaining excellent speech clarity.

Music for Open-Source Projects

Building an open-source application and need audio? OGG aligns with open-source philosophy-no proprietary codecs, no licensing restrictions.

Web Audio Preparation

Preparing audio for HTML5 web projects? OGG's efficient compression means faster loading times for your users.

Technical Details: AVI vs OGG

Understanding what happens during conversion helps set expectations:

AspectAVI (Source)OGG (Output)
TypeVideo containerAudio format
ContainsVideo + Audio tracksAudio only
CompressionVaries (often DivX/XVID video, MP3/AC3 audio)Vorbis lossy compression
Typical sizeLarge (includes video)Small (audio only)
LicensingMicrosoft formatCompletely free and open

When you convert AVI to OGG, we extract the audio track, discard the video, and re-encode the audio using the Vorbis codec. The result is a standalone audio file ready for any use.

Quality Settings and Expectations

OGG Vorbis uses quality levels rather than fixed bitrates. Here's what to expect:

  • Quality 5 (~160kbps) - Excellent balance of size and quality, recommended for most uses
  • Quality 6-7 (~192-224kbps) - Near-transparent quality, good for music
  • Quality 8-10 (~256-500kbps) - Maximum quality, larger files

Our converter uses quality settings optimized for the best balance of file size and audio fidelity. For game audio and web use, the default settings produce excellent results.

When to Choose a Different Format

OGG is excellent, but it's not always the right choice:

  • Need iTunes/iOS compatibility? - Use AVI to M4A instead
  • Maximum compatibility across all devices? - AVI to MP3 works everywhere
  • Lossless audio required? - AVI to FLAC preserves every bit
  • Need the video too? - Convert to AVI to MP4 for modern video format

But for game development, web audio, Linux environments, and open-source projects, OGG remains the ideal choice.

Works on Any Device

Our converter runs entirely in your browser:

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • Phone, tablet, or desktop

No software downloads. No plugins. Upload your AVI, get your OGG. Simple.

Pro Tip

For game development, encode at OGG quality 5 (~160kbps) for background music and quality 3-4 for sound effects. This optimizes file size while maintaining excellent quality where it matters most.

Common Mistake

Using OGG exclusively for web audio without providing MP3 fallback. Safari users won't hear your audio. Always provide both formats or at least detect Safari and serve MP3 to those users.

Best For

Game developers using Unity, Godot, or Unreal Engine who need royalty-free audio. Also ideal for HTML5 web games and applications targeting Chrome and Firefox users.

Not Recommended

Don't use OGG if your primary audience is iOS/iPhone users or if you need maximum compatibility across all devices. MP3 or M4A would be better choices for those scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

OGG Vorbis is an open-source, royalty-free audio compression format. It provides high-quality audio at smaller file sizes than MP3, making it popular for games, web applications, and open-source projects. The format is completely free to use without licensing fees.

There's minimal quality loss when converting. OGG Vorbis is a lossy format, but it's highly efficient. In most cases, the extracted audio sounds identical to the original AVI audio track, especially at our default quality settings.

OGG offers three key advantages for games: no licensing fees (unlike historically patented MP3), smaller file sizes than MP3 at equivalent quality, and native support in major game engines like Unity, Godot, and Unreal Engine.

Android devices play OGG natively. For iPhones, you'll need a third-party app like VLC since iOS doesn't include native OGG support. On desktop, VLC, Windows Media Player (with codecs), and most music players support OGG.

At the same bitrate, yes. OGG Vorbis at 128kbps typically sounds comparable to MP3 at 192kbps. This means you can have smaller files without sacrificing audio quality, or better quality at the same file size.

Chrome, Firefox, and Edge all support OGG Vorbis natively in HTML5 audio. Safari has limited support, so web developers often provide both OGG and MP3 versions, using OGG as primary and MP3 as fallback.

Typically just seconds. A 5-minute AVI video converts in under 10 seconds on most devices. Longer videos take proportionally more time, but conversion is generally fast since we're only extracting and encoding the audio track.

Yes. Upload multiple AVI files and convert them all to OGG in one batch. This is especially useful when preparing audio assets for game projects or web applications.

The video is discarded. OGG is an audio-only format, so we extract just the audio track from your AVI file. If you need to keep the video, convert to a video format like MP4 instead.

No. OGG typically contains Vorbis audio, while OGV contains Theora video. Both use the Ogg container format, but they serve different purposes. When extracting audio from video, you want OGG (audio), not OGV (video).

AVI files contain video, which takes up most of the file size. When you extract just the audio as OGG, you're keeping only a small fraction of the original data. A 500MB AVI might produce a 5MB OGG file.

Absolutely. OGG Vorbis is royalty-free and open-source. You can use it in commercial games, apps, websites, or any other project without paying licensing fees or worrying about patents.
