FFmpeg
FFmpeg ships with libvpx support that can be configured at compile time. See the WebM wiki pages for compilation tips and ffmpeg arguments pertaining to libvpx.
A WebM user maintains a public spreadsheet (last seen 20140915) that attempts to map vpxenc arguments to ffmpeg arguments.
DirectShow Filters
We provide DirectShow filters for playing and working with WebM on Windows. Once the filters are installed on your system, applications that use the DirectShow framework (such as Windows Media Player, and others) will be able to play and encode WebM media. Note that you'll also need to install Vorbis audio support.
Follow these steps to get started:
-
Visit our downloads page.
-
Download the latest WebM Directshow .zip archive. The download filename is similar to
webmdshow-<version number>-<date>.zip -
Extract the archive to your local disk. Locate and run (double-click) the Windows installer program
install_webmdshow.exe, and follow the prompts. -
The .zip archive also contains the complete source of the WebM DirectShow filters, as well as the utility programs
playwebm.exeandmakewebm.exe. See the fileREADME.TXTfor more information. -
To uninstall, locate the WebM DirectShow entry in your Windows system's Add/Remove Programs tool.
-
WebM files contain Vorbis audio, but Windows does not currently support Vorbis by default. An easy fix is to install the set of DirectShow filters provided by the Xiph Foundation. Download at Xiph.org
libvpx SDK
If you're interested in building native VP8/VP9 decode and encode funtionality into your own applications, the libvpx SDK is for you.
