I realize I'm incredibly late on this, but I honestly just found your thread(s) today. Anyway, I have a question regarding your WebM clips...

I couldn't help but notice that you are not only using easyhtml5videos.com to make the WebM clips but are also using VP8. Therefore I must ask - is there a particular reason you aren't using VP9? According to their website, easyhtml5videos.com does in fact support VP9 conversion...

I'm mainly asking because I would think that most people would like the idea of having the same quality but with half the file size (I know me and my 3Mbps DSL sure would!), and I believe VP8 hardware decoding doesn't even really exist on PCs while VP9 hardware decoding is present in modern AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs.


Now I don't know if easyhtml5videos.com also supports Opus audio, but if you decide to try VP9 then you could also consider using Opus for the audio instead of Vorbis as well. Much like VP9, it too can give the same or better quality at a lower bitrate, and should be just as supported if not better supported than VP9 + Vorbis since YouTube uses VP9 + Opus.
