I'm trying out two codecs and was wondering if I could improve the results of the webm output ...

ffmpeg -i test.ts -t 10 -f webm -vcodec libvpx output.webm

to match the quality of the mp4 output...

ffmpeg -i test.ts -t 10 -b 1500k -vcodec libx264 output.mp4

What settings would give me the best webm rip?

Thanks.

Edit: Here is an error output when trying some rip improvements... 

ffmpeg -i test.ts -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis output.webm

    See [vpx (WebM) Encoding Guide](https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/vpxEncodingGuide). – llogan Oct 02 '13 at 00:02
  • Thanks, I'll have to find out what the problem is with this error first though... ffmpeg -i test.ts -c:v libvpx -crf 4 -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis output.webm Unrecognized option 'c:v' Failed to set value 'libvpx' for option 'c:v' – Leke Oct 02 '13 at 04:33
  • Providing the complete console output will provide a clear reason to the problem. – llogan Oct 02 '13 at 05:49
  • Sorry :) I've edited the original post to include the error output. Thanks. – Leke Oct 02 '13 at 16:12

    The problem is that you're not using ffmpeg. See [Who can tell me the difference and relation between ffmpeg, libav, and avconv?](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9477756/1109017) – llogan Oct 02 '13 at 17:33

    That link does not inform users to not use `ffmpeg`, but simply attempts to clarify the confusing situation while offering links that show how to get the real `ffmpeg` if desired. – llogan Oct 03 '13 at 00:22
