ffmpeg webm compo
This is Europa edition
This is the first of hopefully many interesting and chellenging ffmpeg comeptitions.
I hope that they will lead to the creation of some great webms while perfecting our knowledge about ffmpeg & the webm format.
I started with a farly easy competition to attract a high number of participants.
Please rate and critique each others entries; There is no central committee. You are Judge & Jury, Contestant & Commentator.
I think in most cases it will be self-evident which webm is the best, in some cases it won't. Be fair in your appraisal and judge your work and the work of others honestly.
I am looking forward to your entry. Good Luck & Have Fun, Anon.

Categories
A) Highest Quality
You may not cut or alter parts of the video or audio track
Changing the aspect ratio, framerate, etc. is of course allowed.
The person who posts the highest quality webm wins.
'B) Highest Quality + Best Editing
You may cut or edit parts of the audio or video, like an intro or outro, speed up parts, change the volume etc.
You must stay faithful to the message of the video.
No third party video or audio is allowed.
The person who posts the highest quality edit wins. Primary focus is on quality, secondary focus is on editing.
2. The first person to post a webm & ffmpeg code which is not significantly improved/bested by others wins the competition.
It is up to you to decide which category you participate in and which video(s) you convert. There are two categories and three videos, so there are 6 possible webm.
3. ffmpeg only
Allowed programs: ffmpeg, ffprobe
4. webm only
Allowed formats: webm (vp8, vp9, libopus, libvorbis)
5. Your entry must include the following:
- Upload of your finished webm
- Bold or redtext Headline: "Compo Entry"
- Category
- Title of the video
- complete ffmpeg code (use tag for each pass.[/code] tags)
- explanation (optional)
6. One webm at a time. Do not combine ffmpeg code for videos. If you use multipass post a separate [code]
7. There is no central jury, so you have to figure out for yourself wether you won or lost.
In most cases it will be self-evident which webm is the best, in some cases it won't. Be fair in your appraisal and judge your work and the work of others honestly.

I know it's a bit of a different post for this board, but I'd feel bad not letting you guys know about it, if you didn't already.
WebMConverter/WebM For Retards has been effectively banned from GitHub. As of right now, we only have a backup of the previously released version, and do not know where the dev will resetup shop, if anywhere.
Download links for backups: http://puu.sh/jbZRQ/411c0c4a97.zip | https://mega.co.nz/#!k09XVbYK!_4EZQ6Ii4kreJZxm_E0ZJXLz6WnJ6gpg-x9vRM9sCK8
WebM unrelated.
Quality Control
Way too much 4kank shit here, yall dosnst even know what a nasheed is. Bernds unite!Request, I guess?
Hey /webm/, I found this in a /b/ webm thread, but the fucker that downloaded it must've corrupted it somehow, because it would only play about 0:17/3:?? before it would say 'Cannot play, file corrupted'.
I was wondering if any of you webm gods could tell me what it is, what it's from, or post it if you have it saved, i'd greatly appreciate it, it was pretty cool.
if the thumbnail isn't enough to identify it, it started of with a guy in the woods wearing only shorts, knapping a large stone into a sort of machete, cutting down some small trees, and starting to put up the framework for a shelter. it cut off when he picked up some broad, shiny leaves.
if anyone has this/knows where it's from i would really appreciate it.
WebM Special Request - Payphone Scenes
Hey guys, I've got a big order and I'm hoping you're up for the challenge.
I've had it in my head for a bit that I want to put together a sort of video collage set to music, all entirely of a single type of scene in film. If you could get me these clips, with or without sound and in good quality, I'd be really grateful. I can't promise a finished product of remarkable quality, but at the very least this thread will allow you to see all the places the trope pops up.
Preference
>character A, male, at a payphone calling character B, female at home/place
>nighttime setting, outdoors
>character A is appealing to character B
If you can guess what I want to set all these clips I'll use your clip as the first one in the finished piece.
OP WebM only tangentially related, but it got your attention didn't it?
So I came across this "leave Sonic alone meets Metal Gear rising" crossover webm.
Now I have played mgr revengeance and know the song that's playing in the background, it's called "It has to be this way".
What surprises me is that the lyrcis in the end is in japanese. I have tried to find the full japanese verison but it seems impossibru.
Halp?
How can I get good quality with small file sizes?
How to get good file sizes, while still having good quality? Can this even be done with ffmpeg?
I converted WebM related from a .mkv with:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c:v libvpx -cpu-used 0 -qmin 25 -qmax 50 -vf scale=1280x720 K-ON-S1-OP.webm
And as you can see, it looks blocky and it's 5MB for only 1 and a half minutes! How can I get good quality with small file sizes?
Videos and Webm in general
hey guise. I am a complete noob about editing/rendering/converting videos and I have been trying to get in the game. I am currently recording video game footage with FRAPS and editing it in Sony Vegas Pro 13 and converting the final product in WebmConverter but the final version needs a bit more polishing, any tips about how to make the final product bit more higher quality? Here is a webm I made today but there is still some tearing/blockyness in the quality.
Sexy japanese woman has an erotic existential crisis.
Some faggot b-tard was bitching about women, but he posted this amazing webm and then refused to give sauce. If the rest of… whatEVER this is from is as good as these 20 seconds or so, I HAVE TO HAVE IT!
sauce plox
Also sexy asian thread.
Thumbnails are determined by the player right? I made this webm and found out that 8ch uses the middle frame for the thumbnail from what I can tell. Is there a way to change this? Is there some sort of meta attribute where I can choose what frame number to use as the thumbnail or something?
I ended up inserting the frame I want to be the thumbnail as the center frame so it flashes for half a second in the middle which I'm not too happy about.
General questions thread
This thread is for questions about webms and videos encodings who does not deserve their own thread. I'll start.
I have found a rare .avi with subtitles directly encoded on the video stream, and also found the original video (better quality, and without subtitles). Is there a software capable of making a .srt from my subbed video (via OCR maybe) so I can make a shiny .mkv with the raw video ?
