OGV and MOV explained

OGV is the Ogg container carrying Theora video, an early royalty-free codec that has been comprehensively superseded by VP9 and AV1.

MOV is Apple's QuickTime container. Structurally it is very close to MP4 — the two share an ancestor — but MOV files often use codecs like ProRes that general-purpose players cannot decode.

Where OGV files come from
Open-source projects and Wikipedia media from the early 2010s.
Where MOV is used
iPhone and Mac screen recordings, and professional video editing.

OGV vs MOV

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

Why convert OGV to MOV?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of OGV: new work — WebM does the same job far better. MOV is the better fit when you are editing on a Mac or working in a professional post-production pipeline.

OGV limitations that prompt the switch
Theora compresses poorly compared with anything modern. Very limited support. No reason to choose it today.
What you give up
Windows and Android support is inconsistent. Browsers generally will not play it.

Does converting OGV to MOV reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.
