Worked example

Convert OGG to M4A when an Apple app or phone gallery will not play Ogg: choose M4A and keep the AAC bitrate at or below the source, 128 to 192 kbps.

Vorbis and Opus are efficient lossy codecs, so converting to AAC re-compresses audio that is already compressed. A Vorbis file at quality 5 sits around 160 kbps, so 192 kbps AAC is enough to avoid much extra damage, and 320 kbps buys nothing.

Size math: a 4-minute Vorbis track near 160 kbps is about 4.8 MB (20,000 bytes per second × 240). As 192 kbps M4A it is 5.76 MB, as 128 kbps M4A 3.84 MB, and as 320 kbps M4A 9.6 MB. Choose the size you need, not a number larger than the source.

Scenario: a podcast guest sends an Opus-in-Ogg recording and the editor works in a video app that accepts M4A. Opus speech at 32 kbps needs only about 96 kbps of AAC, Channels set to 1 suits a single voice, and Sample rate 48000 matches most video projects.

Common mistake: expecting the M4A to be a better version of the same recording. It is only a different wrapper around a second lossy encode. Fix: archive the Ogg. Check the M4A in the app that will use it, compare durations, and listen to sibilant "s" sounds for ringing.
