Technical Quality Assessment
For professional use, quality assurance is critical. Xonvert's RAW Image to OGV Video pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets video industry standards. Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible RAW Image source always yields the best OGV Video output. May contain Bayer, X-Trans or Foveon sensor patterns When this data is re-encoded into OGV Video, Theora is based on VP3 codec donated by On2 Technologies Xonvert accounts for these differences to maintain visual and structural integrity.
Converting a static RAW Image image to OGV Video video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.
Compression trade-off: Your lossless RAW source retains all original data. Converting to lossy OGV will reduce file size substantially, but some data is permanently discarded. Use the quality slider to balance file size against fidelity.
