This question comes to me once in a while :
How to add ogg/ogv vorbis theora to Adobe Media Encoder
Adobe Media Encoder makes it easy to encode anything (standalone video files, PremierePro, After Effects, Photoshop exports). It allows multiple file outputs, and its interface make it so easy to understand you wonder why everything is not done the same way.
The huge part about that is that i can build a preset and let AME work in the background on any videofile i need, even queuing dozens of movies.
But.
Once in a while, i have to do web formats, html5 videos which are asked as mp4, sometimes webm (less now), and ogg. Would love to start a queue folder, or just a small preset and let AME do both. Except i can't export .ogg/.ogv files from AME.
When I search for answers, the very few answers are :
- go and ask for it on the feature request page (which i did today, twice, since i couldn't find a dedicated thread on AME there)
- use any free external converter
- we can't because licensing forbids you to include this free codec inside a commercial product (without releasing all the souce as free license, which you don't want, and i can understand that).
- .ogg/.ogv are not "professional video formats" don't expect pro to answer or help…
- what is firefox/mozilla/linux?… etc.
Now, what i'm (really) doing, and invite others to do :
- Fill that feature request (simple one "I need html5 video codecs included with AME OR a simple guide on how to do this", "i need to include different formats, fast, from this one tool", even put the link of that thread ( http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1239632 ), so they know where you're coming from (and later blame me on this))
- Use the external converters
- Spread the word.
- find answers.
- find someone who would explain in english (i might translate in french if the solution sounds doable) how to do this, what are the ways to add that.
Disclaimer : I am NO developper, so there's no chance i "change" things in the available sources of the format/encoders freely available. But i CAN follow steps.
If anybody from adobe or the users have answers, ideas that i have overlooked, don't hesitate.
