Cross-platform video conversion tool + Python ( Gstreamer ? )

Question

I'm looking for a tool to do the following:

1. Convert video/audio from multiple formats to WebM format.
2. Needs to be command-line or Python -binded.
3. Cross-platform.
4. No royalty licenses - Thus, all FFMpeg -based tools are out - See this for an explanation .

The best framework I've found so far is GStreamer , But I'm not sure if it's cross-platform or if gst-python is cross-platform. I've installed GStreamer on my mac using homebrew , but it's missing some elements (ie alsasink ), and I don't think I can compile gst-python for Mac. They require pygtk . Everything there is linux -based (-only!) :(

Know anything else that might do the trick? Or how can I fix Gstreamer + gst-python to work properly on mac/win/linux altogether?

Answer 1

you can try FFMPEG for format conversion. FFMPEG v.0.6 adds support for VP8 (WebM)
