How can I convert an ogv file to mp4?
This is an older question now but a modern FFmpeg (under Xenial Xerus and releases following this) would successfully convert an ogv file in the following manner:
ffmpeg -i input.ogv \
-c:v libx264 -preset veryslow -crf 22 \
-c:a aac -b:a 128k -strict -2 \
output.mp4
and this should create an excellent file with great quality playback!
Extra Tweaks:
Some tweaks to these settings are more than possible. Here are some of my suggestions:
- If you wanted to get a better quality video output decrease the crf setting to something like:
-crf 18
. Bear in mind that file size increases as the quality setting is lowered. - Consider adding
-movflags +faststart
to the command line if you wish to present your video via simple HTTP(S) progressive download. - Newer versions of FFmpeg (i.e. released after December 5th 2015) will not need the
-strict -2
option but it is still needed for Xenial Xerus...
Arista Transcoder
or from command line
sudo apt-get install arista -y
You can use this software, that I always use and I think it's really good. To convert an ogv file to mp4 you should choose any Sony device.
