Why should I convert OGV files to IPOD format?

OGV files often lack native support on many devices, so converting to IPOD format improves compatibility and playback on mobile platforms.

Will converting OGV to IPOD reduce video quality?

There may be some quality loss during transcoding from OGV depending on the encoder settings used for conversion.

Can I keep all audio and subtitle tracks when converting OGV files?

Preserving multiple streams like audio and subtitles requires explicit handling during conversion to ensure all content is included.
