What Is This Tool?
This tool converts audio extracted from OGV video files into MMF format, a compact audio container used for ringtones and alerts on older mobile phones. It allows you to transform multimedia audio tracks into small, compatible files for legacy devices and applications.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Upload your OGV video file containing the desired audio track
-
Select MMF as the output audio format
-
Initiate the conversion process by clicking the convert button
-
Download the small MMF ringtone or alert file
-
Transfer the resulting MMF file to a compatible legacy mobile device
Key Features
-
Convert OGV video audio streams into Yamaha SMAF/MMF ringtone files
-
Produce small-sized audio files optimized for low-memory mobile phones
-
Support for compact synthesized music and embedded sampled audio
-
Browser-based tool requiring no software installation
-
Ideal for archiving or migrating legacy ringtone collections
Examples
-
Extract a 10 to 20-second chorus from an OGV video and convert it into an MMF ringtone for a feature phone
-
Convert a short looped background music segment from an OGV promotional clip into MMF format for embedding in an early mobile game
-
Archive sound effects from OGV multimedia sources as MMF files for compatibility testing
Common Use Cases
-
Creating ringtones or alert tones from video audio for legacy phones
-
Including short background music and sound effects in early mobile apps and games
-
Migrating or archiving ringtone collections derived from multimedia sources into compact MMF format
Tips & Best Practices
-
Trim audio to short, simple segments to fit MMF format limitations
-
Ensure the target device or player supports SMAF/MMF to avoid playback issues
-
Use the tool for extracting simple melodies or short sound cues rather than complex audio
-
Keep in mind MMF suits low-fidelity, low-resource audio rather than high-quality sound
-
Test converted files on intended legacy devices before large-scale migration
Limitations
-
MMF format supports audio only; video data from OGV files cannot be preserved
-
Audio fidelity and duration are limited due to MMF's sequenced sample and instrument constraints
-
Requires SMAF/MMF-compatible decoders or devices, which modern platforms may not support
-
Large or multichannel audio from OGV may require simplifying or trimming to convert effectively
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I convert the video part of an OGV file to MMF?
-
No, MMF supports audio only. Video content from OGV files cannot be converted into MMF.
-
What devices can play MMF files?
-
MMF files are designed for legacy mobile phones and require SMAF/MMF-compatible decoders to play.
-
Is MMF suitable for high-quality audio?
-
No, MMF supports low-fidelity, short-duration audio optimized for low-memory devices, not high-quality audio.
