Converting video files to HTML video compatible formats

This simple script uploads a video file and converts it with ffmpeg to mp4 and webm format.
There's no error handling. This is just a rough initial test to solve a headache of mine.

Note that converting to webm is painfully slow! Just give it some time and make a nice progress bar...

Cheers!

Requirements

You need ffmpeg and also a couple of addons to be able to convert to webm.

On Mac OS with Homebrew:

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aacc

If you already have ffmpeg installed and need the addons, just reinstall ffmpeg with the addons.

brew reinstall ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aacc

Installation

No installation besides ffmpeg needed. Just make sure you have the right file permission on the original and converted folders.

sudo chmod -R 775 original converted
