OGV to WTV conversion is the process of transforming video files encoded in the OGV container (commonly using the Ogg Vorbis/Theora codecs) into the WTV container format used by Windows Recorded TV Show. This conversion repackages and/or transcodes audio and video streams so the resulting WTV file can be played back or archived in Windows environments and DVR applications.
