command line webm encoding not working

[cleaner]

i have to encode 30+ videos (.mov quicktime animation - no audio) into webm.

my command line for a single video is not working. maybe I did some syntax wrong:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv "F:\\video01.mov" --sout='#transcode{vcodec=VP80,vb=1200,scale=1}:std{access=file, mux=ffmpeg{mux=webm}, dst="F:\\video01.webm"}'

vlc gui starts but no output-file is created & no error is prompted.

as you can see I tried double backslashes and even "url" instead od "dst". don´t even know what "-vvv" exactly means but tried that too.
converting with the vlc-gui works with the quicktime animation codec as input file...

what did I do wrong?

What are the logs?

[cleaner]

are you asking about "tool --> messages"?
nothing is showing up there with verbosity set to "2(debug)"..


vlc just starts with this screen - but nothing is happening.

Error in the "" placement

could you please edit my line of code and paste it here?

figured it out myself:

Code: Select all

vlc -I dummy "F:\\video1.mov" --sout=#transcode{vcodec=VP80,vb=1200,scale=1}:std{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=webm},dst="F:\\video1.webm"} vlc://quit

thanks anyway.

Hi cleaner,

I tried your first code... In fact, it seems the problem is due to the space between the coma and dest

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv "F:\\video01.mov" --sout='#transcode{vcodec=VP80,vb=1200,scale=1}:std{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=webm}, dst="F:\\video01.webm"}'

Should be:

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv "F:\\video01.mov" --sout='#transcode{vcodec=VP80,vb=1200,scale=1}:std{access=file,mux=ffmpeg{mux=webm},dst="F:\\video01.webm"}'

Also, This one worked for me (VLC 2.0.5):

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv "F:\\video01.mov" --sout='#transcode{vcodec=VP80,vb=1200,scale=1}:std{access=file,mux=webm,dst="F:\\video01.webm"}'

Hope this help.
