4 Tools to Convert WebM Videos to Other Formats

Shortly after Google introduced the open source WebM video format, they started transcoding all videos uploaded to YouTube to WebM, in addition to making them available in MP4, FLV and other formats that use the h.264 codec. Some videos are exclusively WebM, so when you download those videos from YouTube, you get a WebM file. Being a new video format, WebM support is not very good among media players. Many video editors too do not support this format. If you want the video clips to be accessible on all applications and devices, the only solution is to convert WebM videos to a format that is supported by your device or application.

Unfortunately, support for the WebM format among video converter applications themselves is rare. If your favorite video converter fails to recognize WebM files, try these following converter tools.

Free WebM Video Converter from DVDVideoSoft is a basic video conversion utility that supports, among several different file formats, WebM files as input. The tools lets you convert WebM video files to different video formats such as AVI, MP4, 3GP and others. You can also convert any video format back to WebM and also extract audio MP3 from WebM.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?
