Problem:

Unknown encoder 'libvpx'
Was it helpful?

Solution

ffmpeg needs to be configured with the following:

  • --enable-libvpx for VP8 and VP9 video encoding
  • --enable-libopus for Opus audio encoding, or
  • --enable-libvorbis for Vorbis audio encoding

Video

  • To encode VP9 use -c:v libvpx-vp9.
  • To encode VP8 use -c:v libvpx.

The default for WebM is libvpx-vp9.

See FFmpeg Wiki: VP9 and VP8 for more info.

Audio

You only need one of the above audio encoders: Opus is recommended over Vorbis, but either will work.

  • To encode Opus use -c:a libopus.
  • To encoder Vorbis use -c:a libvorbis.

The default for WebM is libopus.

Get ffmpeg

The easiest way to get ffmpeg with these encoders is to download it. See the FFmpeg Download page for links for already compiled executables for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Alternatively, you can follow a compile guide.
