Creating high res WebM on mac

[Sj Miller]

for reference, i was converting from h264 which produced really low res results, I’ll try pro res also

Obviously you’re creating video to be hosted on a website. Take a look at Easy HTML5 Video, it kicks out your video in a number of useful formats, including WebM and with a Flash fallback:

You could use Firefogg https://firefogg.org/ Since it’s a Firefox App you’ll have to install Firefox, then visit the website, install the Plugin and then you can encode to WebM and Ogg Theora. There are some presets plus advanced settings.

I think it works quite well. At least much better than Miro.

Thanks, gave that a whirl and it looks a lot better, still a lot more distorted in comparison to the ogv and m4v versions. There’s also a watermark which for the life of me i cant work out how to remove, there doesn’t seem to be a register option in the app?

Sorenson Squeeze and Telestream Episode can write these files. Encoding is slow on the Mac, but the files play nicely and look good in Chrome.

Yep, looks like you need to purchase a license to remove the watermark in Easy HTML5. Scroll down the main page and look under Download.

Awesome, thanks. I’ll give this a shot, free is always best. Kinda surprised at the lack of software for this tbh
