What video converter do you use for Renpy?

#1 Post by deltazechs » Sat May 05, 2012 11:16 am

I am trying to create a video format suitable for Renpy, but I am not sure what video converter to use. Can anyone tell me what video converter they usually use for videos in Renpy? Does it have to be in .ogv format? Thanks.

I use ffmpeg. There are a couple of formats that are supported, but theora+vorbis in ann ogg(ogv) or matroska(mkv) container seems ideal.

Thanks for your help, Tom!

Looks like handbrake is doing wonders for me, and as per your suggestion, here's the settings I used:

Decomb: Fast
Video Codec: VP3 (Theora)
Check Constant Framerate
Constant Quality: 45 (trade off between quality and file size)
Audio Codec: Vorbis
Select mkv container
