Converting video to HTML5 ogg / ogv and mpg4

Question

Hi

Does anyone know about any software that can convert video (avi, flv, whatever) to HTML5 supported ogg/ogv and mpeg4 formats?

I tried a few but I couldn't find anything that actually works.

Answer 1

MS Expression Encoder can do mp4/h.264. not sure about ogg though.

Answer 2

VLC should be able to do this.

Answer 3

On the website Dive into HTML 5 is a nice writeup of what to do to get html5 video going, and a fallback for browsers without html5 support.

There are step-by-step guides to:

• ENCODING OGG VIDEO WITH FIREFOGG
• BATCH ENCODING OGG VIDEO WITH FFMPEG2THEORA
• ENCODING H.264 VIDEO WITH HANDBRAKE
• BATCH ENCODING H.264 VIDEO WITH HANDBRAKE
• ENCODING WEBM VIDEO WITH FFMPEG

All cross platform solutions, they should work on linux, mac and windows

Answer 4

The Miro video converter (for Windows) does a beautiful job and is drag-n-drop. http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/

BTW it's FREE and also very good for mobile device encoding.
