What do I need to use ffmpeg to convert .mov file to webm?

1.1k Views Asked by At

I'm trying to convert .mov files to .webm using ffmpeg from terminal on my Mac. However I don't really get what I should install to complete the conversion: I've installed libvpx

brew install libvpx

I've installed ffmpeg

brew install ffmpeg

But still when I'm trying to convert file like this

ffmpeg -i vid.mov -c:v libvpx -b:v 2000 vid.webm 

I'm getting this error:

Automatic encoder selection failed for output stream #0:0. Default encoder for format webm (codec vp8) is probably disabled. Please choose an encoder manually. Error selecting an encoder for stream 0:0

What should I do then? how do I enable default encoder? is there something I should do differently or something more I need to install?
