How To - Convert webm files to MP4

submitted by Fascinus to videos 2.5 yearsDec 3, 2021 23:32:57 ago (+8/-0)     (videos)

Here is the method I currently use to convert webm files to MP4.

Suggestions for improvements are welcome.


1. Copy URL for webm file.


2. Navigate to https://cloudconvert.com/.

3. Click the v on the right side of the Select File button to expose the drop-down menu. Select By URL.

4. A dialog box labeled Add file by URL should appear. Paste URL for web content copied in step 1 in the text box contained within. Select Add.

5. An entry for the webm file should appear within the content pane. Click the … v button to the right of the Convert to label Select MP4 from the options that appear.

6. Select Convert.

7. After a brief interval a video should appear. There should be a Download button on the bottom right of the panel and I usually just right-click, save-as.

8. Upload to Catbox, or your preferred host.

Post the converted MP4 file. Now your fellow goats who happen to be phone fags may also view the content and participate in the shared experience of awesome that is voat.

That’s all there is to it. Would be great to have a method that didn’t involve downloading and then re-uploading the converted content and, in practice, it’s not much of an impediment.

Ok, first off webm files are not going to work on your apple mobile device. Any other computer, they should work fine.

@JewsBadNews is the only account that actually posts repeatedly in webm, for the most part.

webm is a proprietary format from j(((jewgle))), that they have open sourced, and I would believe that there is a tracking mechanism that they have encoded into the format. (However, I have no empirical evidence of that)

Seriously though, if it is webm, and you are on an apple device, just download the vlc player, copy and paste the url, and jump off a larger sized building in a ghetto, preferably with an explosive device that you just happened to slip on whilst admiring your ww2 memorabilia collection, and call it a day.

Bottoms down for most impact. I have been advised that is the most effective way to garner attention.

Cause i'm just a casual who doesn't want to have to go to two different sites to have to post it on voat, but i guess i will sacrifice for you phone fags. An no, i'm not an applefag, i have a 2011 ASUS that is still running.

If you use apple devices
you need rope

There was that "webp masquerading as a jpeg" (or something like that) zero day for OSX earlier this year.

I remember Catbox shutting down temporarily to scan for them, or something to that effect.

Seems to be the case, yes.

shows your lack of knowledge of codecs.

My intention wasn't to call out anyone's behavior. I appreciate just about everyone who contributes content.

To me, this was more about answering questions about how to go about performing the conversion because folks had asked me how to do it.
