Part 1. Why Need to Convert MP4 to OGV on Mac and Vice Versa

One of the reasons for converting MP4 to OGV on a Mac is that you want to insert an MP4 video to HTMl5 page with high quality. As you know, OGV is a lossy video format codec with Theora, which can be played with browsers like Firefox, Google Chrome and with no Flash container involved. OGV is the best choice for HTML5 when you need to embed high-quality videos.

Likewise, it may be difficult for you to be able to have two parts of a television show in a .ogv format. You may not be able to play those type of files in a Windows Media Player. You may also like to use a PowerPoint presentation although the .ogv format will not work so that you need to convert OGV to MP4 in order to use it. You may also want to use iTunes although the files may have the extension of .ogv which cannot be imported for playing. These issues can be overcome by using the conversion tool.

You may decide to opt to pay for a converter although this will not necessarily mean that you will gain more. The main difference is that you will not have so many adverts.

The difference between a paid converter and the one that is free is that you would hope to achieve more. This is partly true as some of the paid converters do offer more options such as additional functions with regular updates.

The speed can generally be faster and you can receive some additional support. Overall, it can save you time.

Obviously, it will cost you some money. Some of the free converters are really good as they can offer you some quality, although not as good as the paid ones. You will have to accept a lower operating speed for a free one. You could try a free converter first and then opt for a paid one at a later date.
