I use this
webm for dummies.
You have to figure what part of a video you want to make into the clip via timecodes, if you want audio and if you want 2pass which make a cleaner vid. If you want subs then you have to before making the webm make a flatted hardcoded mp4 or mkv/whatever.
The /g/ way is harder since you write and change the code for EACH rip. There online converters but they suck and most don't have clipping features so you have to have it cut to the part you want.
Use this build of
Webm for retards instead. You don't have to enter time codes manually instead it lets you see frame by frame of the video so you can more correctly trim it. And you can just click the subtitle button for subs - it extract the subs for you. This build is more user friendly i.e easier to use. Everything is GUI based and it includes more features, for example you can include multiple trims (edit two different scenes together).
Though I will say that I have encountered a few videos that won't work with any WebM converter except regular ffmpeg but these have only been in the single digit range and I have been making them since last year so no worries.
Here's the command list I use if anyone is interested.
ffmpeg -i input.file -ss start time -t duration -codec:v libvpx -quality good -cpu-used 0 -threads 0 -b:v 2M -crf 4 -bufsize 99M -auto-alt-ref 1 -lag-in-frames 16 -vf scale=-1:720 -codec:a libvorbis -b:a 320k -y output.webm
Time is written in HH:MM:SS.
This command list doesn't include subtitles because I don't know how to implant them manually.
