Convert Video Files Into Webm Ogv Mp4 Free Using Ffmpeg

S3Bubble is still online. You can help keep it that way.

We announced that we would be closing because our hosting and infrastructure costs stopped making sense for the number of people still using the platform. Since then, several of you have asked us to keep it going, so we are putting it to you. If enough customers commit to a monthly contribution, S3Bubble stays up.

Email support@s3bubble.com

Use the subject line Revive! and tell us what you could contribute each month. We will let everyone know where we land.

Your media is not affected either way. It stays in your own AWS account, not ours.

Hi All,

This will be a very quick post more as a reference for use to revert back to when needed, recently we had to convert a video into three format webm, ogv and mp4. There are many options out there but some added annoying watermarks on our videos which is fine and we would pay for the software of course but this is just a one off.

So lets open up terminal and install brew. http://brew.sh/

Really simple just paste the following into terminal.

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Now install ffmpeg https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/MacOSX

brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-libass --with-libquvi --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opus --with-x265

You now have a seriously powerful video editing command line interface at your fingertips now all you need to do is run the following command to encode your video to all formats.

ffmpeg -i f-video.mp4 -c:v libvpx -minrate 1M -maxrate 1M -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis output.webm && ffmpeg -i video.mp4  -codec:v libtheora -qscale:v 7 -codec:a libvorbis -qscale:a 5 output.ogv
