Settings

The codec to encode the audio track. Codec "Without reencoding" copies the audio stream from the input file into output without re-encoding if possible.
Set the number of audio channels. This setting is most useful when downmixing channels (e.g., from 5.1 to stereo).
Set the sample rate of the audio. Music with a full spectrum (20 Hz — 20 kHz) requires values not lower than 44.1 kHz to achieve transparency. More info can be found on the wiki.

mxf

MXF (Material Exchange Format) is a professional media container standardized by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) in 2004 under the SMPTE 377M specification. Designed for the broadcast and post-production industries, MXF provides a vendor-neutral wrapper for carrying video, audio, and rich descriptive metadata between different production systems and platforms. The format supports a wide range of professional codecs including MPEG-2, AVC-Intra, DNxHD, DNxHR, ProRes, and JPEG 2000, making it adaptable to various quality tiers from proxy editing to master-quality archive. An extensive metadata framework is one of the defining characteristics of MXF, carrying production information such as timecodes, clip names, descriptive markers, source references, and technical parameters within a structured Key-Length-Value (KLV) encoding scheme. This metadata travels with the content through the production chain, reducing the risk of information loss when files move between ingest, editing, graphics, playout, and archive systems. MXF files use an operational pattern system that defines different levels of complexity, from simple single-item packages (OP1a) to complex multi-item playlists. Major broadcast equipment manufacturers and file-based workflow systems universally support MXF, and it serves as the interchange format for standards like AS-02 and AS-11 used in broadcasting.

oga

OGA is the audio-only file extension within the Ogg container framework maintained by the Xiph.Org Foundation. While .ogg traditionally served as a catch-all extension for any Ogg-encapsulated stream, the introduction of .oga in 2007 brought clarity by explicitly signaling that a file contains only audio data. Under the hood, OGA files can carry audio encoded with Vorbis, FLAC, Speex, or Opus — the container is codec-agnostic, serving as a transport wrapper with support for chained logical bitstreams and granule-based seeking. One benefit of OGA is interoperability: applications that encounter the .oga extension can optimize for audio-only playback without probing for video tracks, resulting in faster load times and lower memory usage. Because the Ogg container and its associated codecs are entirely open-source and royalty-free, OGA avoids the patent licensing complexities that affect proprietary formats. The format supports Vorbis comment metadata for tagging artist, album, and track information in a standardized way. OGA plays natively in Firefox, Chromium-based browsers, VLC, and most Linux desktop environments, making it a practical choice for web audio distribution and archival workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert MXF to OGA?

OGA is the dedicated audio extension for Ogg Vorbis — clearer distinction between audio and video Ogg files from MXF.

What is OGA?

OGA is an Ogg container specifically for audio content. It uses Vorbis encoding, the same open-source codec as OGG audio.

What plays OGA?

VLC, Audacious, Amarok, and most Linux media players handle OGA natively. Firefox and Chrome support it via HTML5.

Is OGA different from OGG?

They use the same container and codec. OGA is simply the recommended extension for audio-only Ogg files.

Can I batch process?

Upload several MXF files and extract OGA audio from each in one session for open-source audio production.
