Miro Video Converter is available at the Mac App Store.

I was looking into converting some videos into Google’s WebM format for comparison purposes. I first downloaded theWebM QuickTime Component from WebMProject.org but it never worked. Miro Video Converter turns out to be the one I need to create WebM videos for now. It is loaded with preset video format for quick conversion. It supports formats for Android Devices, iOS Devices and WebM among many.

Miro Video Converter is available for Mac OS X and Windows.

If you ever need to encode videos into WebM format, you can find the codec download at WebMProject.org.

I installed the WebM QuickTime component on my MacBook Pro and able to export to WebM format.

Currently I encode a lot of my videos into MPEG4 with h.264 codec.

Google to remove h.264 support from Chrome. January 11, 2011

According to The Chromium Blog:

…we are changing Chrome’s HTML5 <video> support to make it consistent with the codecs already supported by the open Chromium project. Specifically, we are supporting the WebM (VP8) and Theora video codecs, and will consider adding support for other high-quality open codecs in the future. Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.

So will Chrome still support Flash Player? Flash Player is the container for many video formats including h.264.

Does this mean Google would not support non-open/proprietary codec like h.264 but support a non-open/proprietary container like Flash?

The latest video sample I obtained is from JVC Everio GZ-HM400 AVCHD Camcorder.

The video quality is above average thanks to the larger CMOS sensor (at 0.429 inch). The video was taken in a low light condition thus the grainy pictures. You can view the h.264 video here or download the Raw file in ISO format (150.5MB).

The video is imported using iMovie ’09; iPhone and iPod touch compatible.
