The OGG file format and .ogg file extension refer to the open source container format developed and maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. The format has been in development since the early 90's and initially was designed as an open format for audio compression. Later iterations has seen the format revised into a full audio and video container format with compression codec support of different standards. OGG can be used both in compressed or uncompressed ways and is compatible with different lossy and lossless codecs both for audio and for video. Text can also be added into OGG files as an overlay, all packaged within a single file.
The audio interchange file format, and its associated .aif filename extension, is one of the earliest uncompressed audio file formats released for personal computers. The format had its initial release in 1988 and was developed by Apple Inc. using the IFF ' interchange file format, developed by Electronic Arts, as a template. Because the format is inherently lossless, files tend to be large when pitted against lossy audio file formats. Because of this, .aif files are best suited for local storage and playback.
FreeFileConvert uses tuned encoding for OGG to AIFF conversions, preserving clarity while trimming file size. Finished audio streams instantly across phones, tablets, desktops, and modern browsers without extra tweaks.
Upload OGG files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized AIFF results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent AIFF audio with dependable progress tracking.
Though OGG is versatile in the number of codecs it supports, typically only free codecs developed by the Xiph.org organization are used for encoding and decoding. From the lossy family of codecs, audio can be encoded using Speex, Vorbis, or Opus. Whereas Lossless or uncompressed encoding can be done using FLAC and OggPCM respectively. To be competitive against its closest rivals such as Windows Media Video, Real Video and MPEG-4, lossy video compression codec Theora is often used but a lossless format, DIRAC, can also be used to encode video streams.
The AIFF format uses the pulse code modulation technique to sample analog audio. A one minute sample at 44khz is comparatively larger than a standard mp3 file of the same sample by approximately 10:1. The format supports metadata including copyright information, comments, authoring information, as well as the ID3V2 tag
