OGV to Apple Video conversion is the process of rewrapping or transcoding video files from the OGV container (commonly used with Theora video and Vorbis audio) into the M4V format used by Apple devices and apps. This conversion adapts codecs, container metadata, and packaging so videos play smoothly on iPhones, iPads, Apple TVs, and in QuickTime-compatible players.
