MOV to OGM: Convert Video from MOV(QuickTime Movie) to OGM(OGG Media) with River Past Video Cleaner, MOV2OGM converter, conversion

What is MOV?

Quicktime is a multimedia development, storage, and playback technology from Apple. Quicktime files combine sound, text, animation, and video in a single file. Using a Quicktime player that either comes with a Web browser or can be downloaded from Apple or the browser company, you can view and control brief multimedia sequences.

As a multimedia stardand, QuickTime is not purely linear. It could contain interactivity and causes problems when converting to other video formats.

A lot of digital cameras record video in QuickTime support.

More information can be found on Apple's QuickTime page.

Please install Apple QuickTime when you want to convert from QuickTime movies.

What is OGM?

Ogg Media (OGM), meaning Ogg Media File, is a container format (for video, audio and subtitle streams). It was developed by Tobias Waldvogel and can do a few things the common AVI format cannot.

OGG Media is a video file format with OGG container. It is not as popular as Matroska.

To encode OGG media file with River Past software, please have either Torbias' OGG DirectShow Filters or Radlight Ogg Media Filters installed.You may also need CCCP.
