How do I convert MKV to OGV using this tool?

Upload your MKV file to the converter. In the output settings, choose OGV as the container. You can then select the Theora video codec and Vorbis audio codec, set the desired bitrate, and decide whether to burn subtitles into the video. Click 'Convert' to process the file. Once finished, download your OGV file, which is ready for web playback in older browsers that require Ogg support.

Why would I convert MKV to OGV instead of using MP4 or WebM?

MKV is a flexible container but often requires special software like VLC to play. OGV, on the other hand, is based on the Ogg container and Theora/Vorbis codecs, which are natively supported in older versions of Firefox and Chrome, and are used by some open-source platforms. Converting to OGV ensures that your video can play in these environments without additional plug-ins. It can also reduce file size if you lower the bitrate, although at a cost of some quality.

Will conversion to OGV preserve subtitles, closed captions, and audio tracks?

Our converter gives you full control. You can choose to burn subtitles into the video if you want a single embedded track, or discard them. Audio tracks are re-encoded to Vorbis; you can select which audio track from the MKV file to convert and adjust the bitrate (up to 320 kbps). Resolution and frame rate are maintained by default, but you can change them. However, HDR metadata is not supported in Theora, so it will be lost; standard SDR color is preserved.
