Taking webm for a Spin
|
|
What do I use to test out webm? Since I already have quite a few avi videos I decided to convert some of them. I was amazed at the quality of webm conversions but realized that medium quality avi files aren't the best source material. How about DVD quality video? How about Sita Sings the Blues? That sounds like a no-brainer as it is a freely distributable movie with very high quality source files available.

On webm release day Google also offered patches for ffmpeg to add webm and VP8 support. Not long after, the ffmpeg developers released an update that, among other things, included webm support. Again, due to patent-related issues, Fedora does not package ffmpeg and rpmfusion does. Last week rpmfusion released updated ffmpeg packages. I've been using ffmpeg for encoding for some time so getting into webm was going to be a breeze.
