Converting WebM to MP4 for WhatsApp
WhatsApp wonβt upload WebM video clips so they must be converted before sharing.
- Start by downloading FFmpeg.
- No need to install anything just extract it somewhere convenient.
- Open a console in the FFmpeg bin directory:
./ffmpeg -i avideo.webm avideo.mp4
- The
-i
option means input and the argument at the end is the output file. - There are probably a lot of settings that could be tweaked but the defaults work.
