Extract Audio from OGV Videos

OGV files contain video encoded in the open-source Ogg format, often used for web video and Linux media. When you need just the audio track, converting to OPUS gives you a modern, efficient audio file that sounds great at small file sizes.

OPUS is the successor to Vorbis audio (commonly found in OGG containers) and offers better quality at lower bitrates. In our testing, OPUS files at 96kbps match the quality of MP3 at 128kbps while being 25% smaller.

How to Convert OGV to OPUS

  1. Upload your OGV file - Drag and drop or click to select your video
  2. Select OPUS as output - OPUS is optimized for audio quality and file size
  3. Download your audio - Get your extracted OPUS file instantly

The entire process happens in your browser. No software installation, no account creation, no waiting in queues.

Why Choose OPUS Over Other Audio Formats?

When extracting audio from OGV files, OPUS offers several advantages over older formats:

  • Superior compression - Same quality as MP3 at half the file size
  • Open source - No licensing fees, developed by Xiph.Org and Mozilla
  • Streaming optimized - Used by YouTube, Discord, and WebRTC applications
  • Wide bitrate range - Works from 6kbps voice calls to 510kbps high-fidelity audio

OPUS was designed to replace multiple audio codecs including Vorbis, Speex, and even MP3 in many applications.

When to Use OGV to OPUS Conversion

Podcast Audio Extraction

Recorded a video podcast but need audio-only versions? OPUS delivers excellent voice quality at very low bitrates, keeping your podcast feeds efficient.

Music from Video Recordings

Concert recordings, music videos, or live performances in OGV format can be converted to OPUS for your music library with minimal quality loss.

Archiving Audio Tracks

If you have a collection of OGV videos and want to preserve just the audio, OPUS provides excellent long-term storage with great compression.

OGV vs OPUS: Technical Comparison

Understanding what changes during conversion helps set expectations:

AspectOGV (Source)OPUS (Output)
Content TypeVideo + AudioAudio Only
ContainerOgg containerOgg or WebM container
Audio CodecOften VorbisOPUS codec
Typical BitrateVaries with video64-128 kbps for stereo
File SizeLarger (has video)Much smaller (audio only)

The audio extraction removes all video data, keeping only the sound track re-encoded as OPUS.

Alternative Audio Formats

OPUS is excellent for most use cases, but consider alternatives if needed:

  • OGV to MP3 - When you need maximum device compatibility, especially older hardware
  • OGV to OGG - Keeps Vorbis audio in its native container without re-encoding
  • OGV to WAV - For uncompressed audio editing in DAW software

Choose OPUS when you want the best balance of quality, file size, and modern compatibility.

Browser-Based Conversion

Our converter works entirely in your web browser:

  • Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS
  • Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
  • iPhone, iPad, Android devices

Your files stay on your device during conversion. No uploads to external servers, no privacy concerns.

Pro Tip

OPUS at 96kbps sounds as good as MP3 at 128kbps or Vorbis at 110kbps. If you're archiving audio from OGV files, OPUS gives you the best quality-to-size ratio available today.

Common Mistake

Assuming OPUS won't play anywhere. While older devices struggle with OPUS, modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 11+), VLC, and recent mobile OS versions all support it natively.

Best For

Extracting audio from OGV videos when you want small, high-quality files for modern playback systems, streaming, or voice/podcast content.

Not Recommended

Don't use OPUS if you need to play audio on older car stereos, pre-2015 portable players, or legacy systems. Use MP3 for maximum backward compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

OGV is a video file format using the Ogg container, typically containing video encoded with Theora and audio with Vorbis. It's an open-source format commonly used on Linux systems and web applications.

OPUS is a modern audio codec designed for both speech and music. It offers excellent quality at low bitrates and is used by major platforms like YouTube, Discord, and WhatsApp for audio streaming.

There's minimal quality loss. OPUS is highly efficient and can match or exceed the quality of the original Vorbis audio track typically found in OGV files, especially at bitrates above 64kbps.

OPUS is supported by most modern browsers, VLC media player, and recent versions of Windows 10/11, macOS, iOS, and Android. Older devices may require a media player like VLC.

Significantly smaller. An OGV file contains both video and audio data. The extracted OPUS audio will be a fraction of the original size - typically 90-95% smaller since the video portion is removed.

For quality per file size, yes. OPUS achieves equivalent quality to MP3 at roughly half the bitrate. However, MP3 has broader compatibility with older devices and car stereos.

Yes, our converter supports batch processing. Upload multiple OGV files and convert them all to OPUS in one session.

No. The conversion runs entirely in your web browser. Just upload your OGV file, click convert, and download the OPUS result.

We use quality-based encoding that typically outputs around 96-128kbps for stereo audio, which provides excellent quality while keeping files small.
