Why Convert GIF to OGV?
OGV (Ogg Video) is an open-source video format that uses the VP8 codec with Vorbis audio. Converting animated GIF to OGV produces significantly smaller files with better color depth (millions of colors vs GIF's 256) and proper video playback controls.
OGV was the original HTML5 <video> format before MP4 gained universal browser support. It's still useful for open-source projects, Firefox/Chrome web embedding, and situations where royalty-free codecs are required.
For modern web use, GIF to MP4 or GIF to WebM are generally better choices.

What codecs does OGV use?
VP8 video (default) with Vorbis audio. The OGV container also supports VP9 and Theora video codecs.
Can I batch convert?
