What's the best tool to convert vid to HTML5 (Mp4 + WebM + Ogv) and keep good ratio between Size & Quality ?

I have a 1min lenght vid in FullHD. This is a demo reel that loop in fullscreen at the first website launch.

I tried Miro converter, Freemake and can't reduce files under 15Mb without obtain poor vid quality. It's seems too heavy for a website.

Do you have any tips ? A tool to convert vids, an online service to upload the vid and use it instead of using HTML5 video tag.

Thanks

    @stop Yep, with Wtheora, a GUI for ffmpeg to theora (http://opensource.grisambre.net/wth...).

    I find this online service (https://onelineplayer.com/), a free web player without branding and quality loss. But video not cover the vh of my webpage 😕

    Could it be that the output were with a static bitrate?

    @stop Maybe. I will try some other ajustments. But I think that I can't have a 1min vid at 1920 x 1080 and less than 5Mb 😬

    By making it grayscale by removing one of the colour channels the resulting file would also be smaller, if you could live with that trade-off

    @orimligt Thanks for the tip but I can't modify the vid.

    Having a video running at page load is a stupid idea in the first place

    Auto play video?
    Most people run away when they hear unexpected audio playing.

    @C0D4 and many browsers start to block it.
    @Wesley static bitrate is known for creating errors in videos and its possible to get under 5MB, it depends on the codec and the content.

    @bahua let's be honest, everything else is either a frontend for ffmpeg or adobe

    If you insist on doing this, the auto play thing, look at using h265 hevc encoding

    @electrineer This is the client desire. So, I do my best to implement that feature. Thanks for your advice.

    @C0D4 The Autoplay video is mute.

    @seraphimsystems h265 codec will be decode by browsers ? I used the h264 with the Mp4 container instead.

    @Wesley h265 should be decodeable in browser, well maybe... Sometimes . I think I saw it work in edge once?

    Ok try AV1 instead, it's designed for browsers and is as efficient as h265, uses webm container and is royalty free

    @seraphimsystems AV1 is only supported by Opera and Chrome, and partially by Firefox. So nope, not a good choice IMO.

    The best containers / codecs for web is :
    - Ogv with Theora + Vorbis
    - Mp4 with h264 + AAC
    - WebM with VP8 + Vorbis

    Works like a charm with the previous client video. But the new one is 2x longer.. So I need to find a good preset to encode video to be under 5Mb

    @Wesley you're asking a lot, basically that gives you 0.66 Mbps for your stream, which is very little.

    Did you say it has no audio?
