Taking hours to encode a 2 min MOV

[ottonascarella]

Hi there,

First off, thanks for writing this. We all want to be able to use webm, and this plugin is certainly a good help.

I was trying to use the plugin but it is taking ages to convert a file. I just used the plugin on its default state.

any tips?

VP9 is a high-quality codec, but pretty slow. You'll get a big speed-up (but lose quality) if you use VP8 instead.

Another thing you can try is using the custom args field, and putting "--cpu-used=3" or numbers higher than 3. This should turn off some VP9 features and speed things up (again, losing some quality).

More info on custom arguments here. Or you can post on the WebM discussion forum.
