See the WebM wiki pages for <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/webmproject.org/wiki/ffmpeg/building-with- libvpx">compilation tips</a> and <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/webmproject.org/wiki/ffmpeg">ffmpeg arguments pertaining to libvpx</a>.</p> <p><em>A WebM user maintains <a href="https://goo.gl/8KfU3">a public spreadsheet</a> (last seen 20140915) that attempts to map vpxenc arguments to ffmpeg arguments.</em></p> <h4 id="directshow-filters">DirectShow Filters</h4> <p>We provide DirectShow filters for playing and working with WebM on Windows. Once the filters are installed on your system, applications that use the DirectShow framework (such as Windows Media Player, and others) will be able to play and encode WebM media. Note that you'll also need to install Vorbis audio support.</p> <p>Follow these steps to get started:</p> <ol> <li> <p>Visit our <a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webm/index.html">downloads page</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p>Download the latest WebM Directshow <em>.zip</em> archive. The download filename is similar to</p> <p><pre><code>webmdshow-<version number>-<date>.zip</code></pre></p> </li> <li> <p>Extract the archive to your local disk. Locate and run (double-click) the Windows installer program <code>install_webmdshow.exe</code>, and follow the prompts.</p> </li> <li> <p>The <em>.zip</em> archive also contains the complete source of the WebM DirectShow filters, as well as the utility programs <code>playwebm.exe</code> and <code>makewebm.exe</code>. See the file <code>README.TXT</code> for more information.</p> </li> <li> <p>To uninstall, locate the WebM DirectShow entry in your Windows system's Add/Remove Programs tool.</p> </li> <li> <p>WebM files contain Vorbis audio, but Windows does not currently support Vorbis by default. An easy fix is to install the set of DirectShow filters provided by the Xiph Foundation. <a href="https://xiph.org/dshow/"><strong>Download at Xiph.org</strong></a></p> </li> </ol> <h4
