This script automates the process of creating an .ogv, an .mp4, and an
optional .webm file for use in particular with the “Video for Everybody”
HTML5 approach to web video.
The script will also create an image to use as a poster for the video.
I run this script from a bash terminal on Mac and Linux systems.
- ffmpeg (>=v1) OR libav -- For ffmpeg < 1, try older versions of the script, such as 2.0
- qtfaststart.py
Run the bare command vfe.sh to see an explanation of the options.
You can set your own default preferences by creating a .vferc file and keeping it at ~/.vferc
You can use the sample file in this repository as a model
You can also create vfe preset files to handle recurrent patterns of settings
Presets apply after the preferences you set in your .vferc
