Does anyone know a way to convert .mp4 video to .ogg
video (in Windows)? None of the converters I've seen online seem to do the job.

I see people promoting SUPER quite often and I'm not sure why, when options such as Miro or plain old FFmpeg are available?
To do this with ffmpeg just use this (simple) command:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -codec:v libtheora -qscale:v 3 -codec:a libvorbis \
-qscale:a 3 -f ogv output.ogv
-qscale
is required to keep a reasonable video and audio quality, otherwise the default is very bad, see also: How do I convert MP4 to OGV while still retaining the same quality using FFMPEG?
Tested in Ubuntu 19.04, ffmpeg 4.3.1.

3audio/video quality level should be specified with
-qscale:v
and-qscale:a
- see trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/TheoraVorbisEncodingGuide -- default is very low quality– PaoloMar 8, 2017 at 22:41 -
There is a typo. Should be ogg not ogv. I cant edit as it requires 6+ characters so I commented instead.– kosinixMar 16, 2017 at 6:18

The format was ogg video or ogv at the time of posting 7 years ago now; if it has changed then sure, but I doubt its relevant. Mar 16, 2017 at 14:02

@Paolo thanks for this, I've edited them into the answer. ogv seems to be the preferred format btw: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogg Sep 7, 2019 at 14:31

If you want a good video converter that can convert pretty much anything to anything, I would highly recommend Handbrake. It is free and open source.

I personally can't recommend Handbrake on the OS specified in the question. I've tried it and haven't had very good luck. Sep 12, 2010 at 5:13

@Mondain - Handbrake on Windows is great, it is the only video converter I use now. Sep 13, 2010 at 1:10

Handbrake removed support for OGG in 2009, just before this answer was posted.– SparhawkFeb 26, 2021 at 3:26
