What is OggConvert?

OggConvert is a small Gnome utility that uses GStreamer to convert media files to the licence-free Theora, Dirac and Vorbis formats.

The main selling points are:

  • It's painfully easy to use: drag a file onto the source bar (or use the file chooser) and hit convert. Of course, you can also change the quality settings and the output filename if you like.

  • It uses GStreamer, so it can convert (almost) any file which Totem can play

  • It can deal with audio-only files, video-only files, and files with many audio tracks (such as DVD rips with a commentary track).

  • Thanks to the magic of GStreamer, metadata (for example, title and artist info on an MP3) is preserved

  • Adheres to the Gnome HIG as much as possible
