Why Extract AIFF Audio from OGV?

OGV files are open-source videos that often contain high-quality audio tracks. When you need that audio for professional work, AIFF is the format that delivers. AIFF preserves every detail of your audio without any compression artifacts.

Whether you recorded a live performance in OGV format or downloaded open-source content with great audio, converting to AIFF gives you the raw, uncompressed audio that professional AIFF editing software demands.

How to Convert OGV to AIFF

  1. Upload your OGV file - Drag and drop or click to select your video
  2. Select AIFF as output - Choose AIFF for uncompressed, professional audio
  3. Download your audio - Get your extracted AIFF file instantly

The entire process happens in your browser. No software to install, no accounts to create.

OGV vs AIFF: Understanding the Difference

OGV is a video container format using Theora video and Vorbis audio codecs. It was designed for web streaming with good quality at smaller file sizes. The audio inside OGV files uses Vorbis compression, which is lossy.

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is Apple's uncompressed audio standard. It stores audio in raw PCM format at full quality, typically at 16-bit or 24-bit depth. In our testing, AIFF files are roughly 10x larger than the compressed Vorbis audio in OGV files, but they preserve every sample perfectly.

When you convert OGV to AIFF, we extract the audio and decode it to uncompressed PCM. While we cannot recover detail lost in the original Vorbis compression, AIFF prevents any further quality loss during your editing workflow.

When You Need This Conversion

Music Production

Recorded a concert or jam session with an open-source screen recorder that outputs OGV? Converting to AIFF lets you import directly into Logic Pro, GarageBand, or Pro Tools without compatibility issues.

Podcast and Audio Editing

Extracting audio from video recordings for podcast use is common. AIFF works seamlessly with professional audio workstations and maintains quality through multiple edits. If you prefer a smaller file, consider OGV to MP3 for compressed audio instead.

Sample Libraries

Building a sample library from open-source video content? AIFF is the standard format for audio samples in many DAWs, ensuring maximum compatibility.

Archival Purposes

When preserving audio long-term, uncompressed formats like AIFF or WAV are preferred. They can be re-encoded to any format in the future without generational quality loss.

AIFF Compatibility

AIFF files work with virtually all professional audio software:

  • macOS - Native support in Finder, QuickTime, and all Apple audio apps
  • Logic Pro / GarageBand - AIFF is the preferred format
  • Pro Tools - Full support for editing and mixing
  • Audacity - Open-source editor that handles AIFF perfectly
  • Adobe Audition - Professional support for AIFF import/export

While AIFF originated on Mac, modern Windows audio software supports it fully as well.

Technical Details

Our converter extracts audio from OGV video files and outputs standard AIFF format:

  • Sample rate - Preserved from source (commonly 44.1kHz or 48kHz)
  • Bit depth - 16-bit PCM for maximum compatibility
  • Channels - Stereo or mono, matching source audio
  • File size - Approximately 10MB per minute for stereo 44.1kHz audio

The conversion happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology, so your files never leave your device.

When to Choose a Different Format

AIFF is excellent for professional editing, but other formats may suit your needs better:

  • Need smaller files? - Try OGV to MP3 for compressed audio at 1/10th the size
  • Windows workflow? - WAV is essentially the same as AIFF but more common on Windows
  • Streaming or web use? - OGG or AAC provide good quality at smaller sizes

Pro Tip

If you're extracting audio for music production, AIFF integrates perfectly with Logic Pro's workflow. The format supports metadata and loop points that some DAWs can read automatically.

Common Mistake

Expecting AIFF to sound better than the original OGV audio. The conversion preserves quality but cannot improve it. If the source audio was compressed heavily, those artifacts remain.

Best For

Musicians and audio engineers who need to pull audio from OGV screen recordings, game captures, or open-source video content for professional editing in a DAW.

Not Recommended

If you just need audio for casual listening or sharing online, AIFF files are unnecessarily large. Use MP3 or AAC for these purposes instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

OGV is an open-source video container format that uses Theora video compression and Vorbis audio compression. It was popular for web video before MP4 became dominant and is still used in open-source software and Linux environments.

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an uncompressed audio format developed by Apple. It stores audio as raw PCM data without any compression, making it ideal for professional audio editing where quality cannot be compromised.

No. The audio in OGV files uses Vorbis compression, which is lossy. Converting to AIFF preserves the current quality and prevents further degradation, but cannot restore detail lost during original compression.

AIFF files are approximately 10MB per minute for stereo 44.1kHz audio. A 5-minute audio track from an OGV video would result in roughly a 50MB AIFF file.

Yes. Our converter supports batch processing. Upload multiple OGV files and convert them all to AIFF in a single session. Each file is processed in your browser.

No. All conversion happens locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your OGV files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.

The sample rate from your original OGV audio is preserved. Most OGV files contain 44.1kHz or 48kHz audio, and your AIFF output will match this.

AIFF and WAV are functionally equivalent - both store uncompressed PCM audio at identical quality. AIFF is more common in Mac/Apple workflows, while WAV is the Windows standard. Choose based on your software preferences.

Yes. Most modern Windows audio software and media players support AIFF. VLC, Windows Media Player (with codecs), and all professional DAWs handle AIFF without issues.

MP3 uses lossy compression, adding another layer of quality loss on top of the Vorbis compression in OGV. If you plan to edit the audio, AIFF avoids this. If you just need a small file for listening, MP3 is fine.
