I am using followng command to convert video to webm format ffmpeg -i video/ds2.mp4

  • 0

I am using followng command to convert video to webm format

ffmpeg -i video/ds2.mp4 -acodec libvorbis -ac 2 -ab 96k -ar 44100 -b:a 345k -s 640x360 video/ds2.webm

I am receiving following errors:

1) incompatible sample format ‘s16’ for codec ‘libvorbis’

2) strptime() unavailable on this system, cannot convert the data string

Do you any idea why I cannot convert, tested conversion to FLV and it’s working very well

Console output

    The command you posted worked. The two messages you posted are warnings, not fatal errors.

    By the way, I use this command to create WebM videos:

    ffmpeg.exe -i "blank.mp4" -acodec libvorbis -b:a 96k -ac 2 -vcodec libvpx -b:v 400k -f webm -s 384x216 "blank.webm"
