Most of us turn to a variety of converter online for help when we encounter this frustrating problem in daily life. Can we convert ogg file to other format (such as MP4/MP3/) in that way too? Yes. Today I will make a comparison between HandBrake and Leawo Video Converter by employing them to convert ogg to MP4.

Part 1: Convert OGG to MP4 with HandBrake

What is HandBrake? It is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder referenced from its introduction online. I downloaded HandBrake_1.0.7 from a technology website and then installed it on my laptop with windows system. Ensure you have enough space to save your file if you have a Mac or other system instead. Let's get started.

Firstly, you need to download and install Handbrake. After that, reopen the software then click 'File' to open a single video file, obviously you can add 'Folder' too.

There is another way: Click any point in the grey area then you will find 'File' at the top-left corner. At this step, most of the options are still not selectable.

Insert an ogg file, and then choose MP4 as your Output Settings then click the green button 'Start Encode' to continue. Don't forget to save your target file to a location that you can easily find.

The previous button 'Start Encode' has changed into 2 options 'Stop' and 'Pause', a green bar appeared on the bottom. It took about 10 minutes to complete.

Now it is finished.
