I need to convert an mp4 file to webm or ogg to display on a website. Can I do this in WinFF? Which choice would I choose?



Thanks!

Thanks! I get
"'ffmpeg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Do I need to install ffmpeg separately, if I already have winff installed?

I don't see webm as an option in the Video tab - am I looking in the right place?

You can set which encoder to use for both the audio and the video as well as bitrate etc. You probably know more about this stuff than me.

I actually don't know much about it :)

I exported it to webm - does it make sense that VLC on Windows can't play it?
