Skip WebM transcode, only mp4 is needed.

I noticed after uploading 45mins video from Youtube using Video Downloader, it only took 10mins to transcode to my site on my 8core CPU server, after that I can see there is still one core CPU 100% processing the video into WebM format, how can I config to skip this, since I only need mp4 for my site, this webm processing time is way to long and occupied 1 core of my CPU for many hours....

thx team~

    • This is true, we only need mp4. I mentioned this a long time ago and they said they would add an option to disable webm. I am waiting for this before I encode my videos. I noticed if I put bad ffmpeg options for webm in the database, it will force webm to fail, but it doesn't seem like a good idea. Also, I tried to comment out some things in the una software, but this didn't work either.

      • hey Joseph, I tried comment out, didn't work for me either,,,, can someone at least guide us how to skip WebM post-processing plz :)

        • or at least teach us how to use all of the CPU cores when processing WebM, atm only 1 core is used and super slow encoding, but for mp4 it used all of my 8 core CPU

          • You can use Joseph Capers approach and add some option to webm conversion string to make it fail, until we do something in UNA.

            You can do it in filter_params filed in sys_transcoder_filters table for all records where filter = Webm

            • I've got it bypass webm by adding "reture true;" before that function, all working great now :)
