Re: Problem with webm

Well, I like Media Preview. I did find an alternative but it requires .NET framewok 4 - and I refuse to install this (what we call in French) "usine à gaz" - (enormous gas factory). So I found a workaraound.
Any webm I download which uses VP9 I rename to webmv (which is not activated in Media Preview). (Webm with VP8 works fine.)
If I really want a webm with VP9 to display an image I run it through X-media Recode to convert it to VP8.
This is the ONLY change I make: so it only takes about 4 minutes for a 40MB video and there is no noticeable quality loss.
