Miro claims first VP8 / WebM video converter

by Jay Hathaway on May 21, 2010 at 04:15 PM

With the announcement of WebM, the big-deal new open media format for the web, the average user was probably wondering, "How the heck do I convert my videos to this new format?" The popular cross-platform media player and converter Miro has an answer to that question. Miro Video Converter is claiming the title of first VP8 / WebM video converter app.

Miro Video Converter 2.0 also includes some other big improvements over the older version. Audio and video quality have been improved, and more formats have been added. There's support for iPad-optimized video, and you can send Apple-formatted videos directly to iTunes when they're done converting.

I tried converting a 700MB AVI file to Web8 format, and it took 54 minutes to get to 5%. Talk about #epicfail. I think it's an extremely rudimentary implementation at the moment, although it'll only get better from now. :)

It can convert all videos to FLV format such as AVI to FLV, MPEG to FLV, WMV to FLV, MOV to FLV, RM to FLV, etc and can also convert all videos to SWF format like AVI to SWF, MPEG to SWF, WMV to SWF, MOV to SWF,etc.
