Can this tool convert video content when converting OGV to MP3?

No, converting OGV to MP3 only extracts the audio stream. Video and subtitles included in the OGV file are discarded.

Will the converted MP3 audio files work on all devices?

MP3 is widely supported across devices and operating systems, making converted audio files compatible with most players.

Is there any loss of quality during the conversion from OGV to MP3?

Yes, because both OGV audio streams and MP3 use lossy compression, some original audio detail may be lost, especially at low MP3 bitrates.
