Best .ogv conversion?

[Jordanowen42]

Hello all-

I've got cutscenes in my game that I made in Adobe Premiere Elements. I found a website online (https://video.online-convert.com/convert-to-ogv) that can do the conversion but the end result is very choppy and jerky. I want my cutscenes to look like big, epic, latter period Myst game full screen events. Any suggestions about how best to do this? Perhaps a trustworthy app to download?

I use ffmpeg without issue so far. You'll have a lot more options than an online converter.

Awesome- thanks!

Okay- I downloaded ffmpeg and tried to run it. Nothing happens. Unpacked the whole zip file and moved it onto my hard drive- doesn't do anything. What am I missing?

FFMPEG is a command line application.
It does not come with a (G)UI.

You need to type in the appropriate commands (preferrably in a command prompt) with parameters to use it.

I think there are a number of GUI frontends for it but I'm not familiar with those.

I use the same website fo my games and I do change the video bitrate to 20000 to have better outputs. I use 1280*720 videos.

You can also use VLC to convert video; it has a good and simple GUI for that.
(It also seems to use the same library as ffmpeg, so the result will be just as good.)

I downloaded it and it only has an option to convert to .ogg not .ogv

I take it you use the paid version?

The option is called "Video - Theora and Vorbis (OGG)" and creates a video file. .ogg doesn't mean it's just audio.
You can simply rename it after the conversion, if you want the extension to be .ogv.

I don't, but now that you mention it, I do convert short videos (mostly 5-6 secs; the longest one is 37 secs at 20000 bitrate).
If your video is too long for the website, you could export it in smaller parts and then have the .ogv videos play one after the other in AGS(?)
