Why Extract Audio from OGV as AMR?

OGV is an open-source video format commonly used on Linux systems and web platforms like Wikipedia. When you need just the audio from an OGV video file, converting to AMR creates extremely small files optimized for speech content.

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) was designed specifically for voice encoding in mobile telecommunications. If your OGV video contains spoken content like lectures, interviews, or voice recordings, AMR captures it in a fraction of the file size compared to other audio formats.

How to Convert OGV to AMR

  1. Upload your OGV file - Drag and drop or click to select your video file
  2. Select AMR as output - Choose AMR from the audio format options
  3. Download your audio - Get your compact AMR file ready for use

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

When AMR Makes Sense

AMR excels at compressing human speech. In our testing, a 10-minute spoken recording that would be 10MB as MP3 comes out under 1MB as AMR. This makes AMR ideal for specific use cases:

  • Voice messages - Send audio clips without eating through data limits
  • Lecture recordings - Store hours of spoken content in minimal space
  • Interview transcription - Extract dialogue from video interviews
  • Mobile voicemail systems - AMR is the standard format for many carriers

However, AMR is speech-focused. For music or high-fidelity audio, consider OGV to MP3 instead.

OGV vs AMR: Technical Comparison

Understanding the differences helps you know what to expect:

  • OGV - Open-source video container using Theora video and Vorbis audio codecs
  • AMR - Audio-only format optimized for speech at 4.75-12.2 kbps bitrates

The conversion extracts the audio stream from your OGV video and re-encodes it using AMR compression. Visual information is discarded, leaving only the sound.

AMR uses narrowband audio sampling (8kHz), which captures the frequency range of human speech but not the full range you would hear in music. This limitation is what enables such dramatic file size reduction.

Compatibility Notes

AMR files play on most smartphones and feature phones, as the format originated in mobile telecommunications:

  • Android - Native support in most music and voice apps
  • iOS - Plays through third-party apps
  • Windows/Mac - Requires VLC or compatible media player

If you need broader desktop compatibility, OGV to WAV creates universally supported uncompressed audio.

Works in Any Browser

Convert OGV to AMR directly in your web browser:

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • Tablets and smartphones

No plugins, no downloads, no registration. Just upload and convert.

Pro Tip

AMR-NB (narrowband) and AMR-WB (wideband) are different variants. Standard AMR is narrowband at 8kHz sampling. If you need better speech quality, look for AMR-WB support, which uses 16kHz sampling.

Common Mistake

Using AMR for music extraction. AMR was built for voice calls and filters out most musical frequencies. The result sounds muffled and low-quality. Use MP3 or AAC for music content.

Best For

Extracting spoken content from video lectures, interviews, or voice recordings when file size matters more than audio fidelity.

Not Recommended

Do not use for music, podcasts with musical intros, or any content where full audio quality matters. AMR is strictly for speech-only scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is a compressed audio format designed for speech. Developed for mobile phone voice encoding, it creates very small files optimized for spoken content rather than music.

For speech content, yes. AMR is specifically designed to preserve voice clarity at low bitrates. For music or sound effects, quality will be noticeably reduced since AMR filters out frequencies outside the speech range.

Extremely small. A 10-minute voice recording might be 10MB as MP3 but under 1MB as AMR. This makes AMR ideal when storage or bandwidth is limited.

Yes, but you may need VLC Media Player or another compatible player. AMR is not natively supported by Windows Media Player or QuickTime without additional codecs.

AMR will work but quality suffers. The format discards audio frequencies used in music to achieve small file sizes. For music extraction, use MP3 or WAV instead.

No. OGV is a video format (Ogg Video), while OGG is typically an audio format (Ogg Vorbis). Both use the Ogg container but carry different types of media content.

No. The converter runs entirely in your web browser. Upload your OGV file, convert to AMR, and download the result. Nothing to install.

Yes. Conversion processing happens locally in your browser. Your video and audio files are not uploaded to external servers.

Yes. You can upload multiple OGV files and batch convert them all to AMR format without processing each file individually.
