webm 0.3.4

Encode webm videos

Just another bikeshed to encode webm VP9 videos. Nothing interesting here.

Requirements

• Python 2.7+ or 3.2+

• FFmpeg 2+ compiled with libvpx and libopus

• mpv 0.8+ compiled with Lua support, for interactive mode only

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

Interactive mode

Pass -p flag to interactively select cut frargment/crop area with mpv. Demo:
