#HANDBRAKE MP4 TO WEBM HOW TO#

I didn’t really look into why it isn’t but I did find a way to get it working on Mac! My bet would be on the reason why vpx/vorbis isn’t bundled with ffmpeg anymore would be licensing issues. The only way now it seems is to compile ffmpeg with libvpx/libvorbis enabled. However if you install ffmpeg via brew or other sources, you’ll notice it is missing webm video codec support. Looks like most of these programs use ffmpeg under the hood to do the actual video conversion. You would think things like Adobe Premiere, VLC, or HandBreak would support this conversion and video codec but sadly I couldn’t see a way to do it. It is hard to find something free out there to convert an mp4 to a webm format. An mp4 version and a webm version.Ĭheckout this article for more on the HTML5 Video Tag.
