Encode webm videos
Project description
Just another bikeshed to encode webm VP9 videos. Nothing interesting here.
Requirements
Installation
Just save https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kagami/webm.py/master/webm.py
Optionally put it somewhere in your PATH:
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kagami/webm.py/master/webm.py -O ~/.local/bin/webm
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/webm
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin
webm -h
Or with pip:
[sudo] pip install webm
Usage
NOTE: Windows users may want to add Python executable to the PATH. See https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#excursus-setting-environment-variables for details. Otherwise just type the full path to your python.exe location instead of python.
Show help:
python webm.py -h
Examples:
# Fit video to default limit
python webm.py -i in.mkv
# Fit video to 6 MiB
python webm.py -i in.mkv -l 6
# Set video bitrate to 600k
python webm.py -i in.mkv -vb 600
# Constrained quality
python webm.py -i in.mkv -crf 20
# CQ with custom limit
python webm.py -i in.mkv -crf 20 -l 6
# CQ with custom bitrate
python webm.py -i in.mkv -crf 20 -vb 600
# Constant quality
python webm.py -i in.mkv -crf 20 -vb 0
