I need to create High Quality WebM for 4chans. It has a strict 3072KByte (3MB) limit
right now im using this setting to encode videos:
ffmpeg -i test.mp4 -an -c:v libvpx -b:v 4500k -fs 3MB test.webm
the bitrate is determined by 3072kByte * 8 / (length of video) .. unless the original bitrate is low enough that i can fit it under 3 megabytes.. but sometimes ffmpeg goes over the 3MB limit and i read a 2pass encode doesn't encode over the filesize and that it gave better quality
Does anybody know what the exact command I would need to use 2pass encoding on WINDOWS? I've heard you need a .bat file or something.. Do step by step because i tried the method on the ffmpeg help site and it gave me an error.
Also I've seen people use these other commands to get high quality, do they work?
-qmin 0 -qmax 42 -bufsize 1000k -crf 5 -quality good
Just something that won't take too long to encode, but I'm only encoding 10 second or so clips so I guess it shoulnd't take too long .
also.... how would you got about cropping videos from the right/bottom/left/right ????
this command would crop a 750x420 video 30 pixels from the bottom:
-vf crop=750:390:0:-30
^but that's only from one side, what if i needed to crop 30 pixels from the top as well at the same time?
thanks

Did you try https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/x264EncodingGuide ?
Replace /dev/null with just NUL and you don't have to use && . Just run the commands after each. -

Normally the syntax is crop=WIDTH:HEIGHT-pos:y-pos, which means you define a windows with resolutio WIDTHxHEIGHT and move it to xPos x yPos.
-> so if you want to crop 750x420 to 750x360, you would use: 750:360:0:30
