Convert WEBM to OPUS

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert WEBM to OPUS if your computer, phone or other device does not support WEBM format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

A WEBM file is a compressed video saved in the WebM format, an open high quality video standard. It stores video compressed using VP8 technology and compressed audio using Ogg Vorbis compression. WEBM files are commonly used to deliver online video using HTML5. A WEBM file is a video in the open WebM format, which is widely used to broadcast videos over the Internet, including YouTube. The format complies with the HTML5 standard and is a container in which compressed video and audio streams are packed. The WebM file container contains a video stream compressed using the VP8 or VP9 codecs, an audio stream compressed with the Vorbis or Opus codec, and subtitles such as WebVTT may also be present. In fact, the structure of the WebM file repeats the Matroska media container, only in a very truncated form regarding the variety of formats and codecs used in MKV. The file with the WEBM extension is an innovative video presentation format that was released in 2010. The copyright holder of this extension is Google. Native WebM support in Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome was announced at the 2010 Google I / O conference. But high video quality and low file weight have already earned him a solid reputation. The format was supported in HTML5 and was originally intended for placement on web pages.

The main advantages of OPUS are high audio quality and good compression achieved through dynamic adaptive streaming. The format is based on technologies and broadcast algorithms from Skype and Xiph.org (SILK and CELT codecs, respectively). OPUS is the main audio codec in Skype today. Opus' structure allows it to effectively deal with sound artifacts. For this, a multi-stage audio signal processing architecture has been proposed. The main argument that speaks in favor of using the new codec for IP telephony is low time delay. The Opus codec is used for Voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing, in-game chat. The Opus format has been standardized by the IETF and is maintained by Xiph.Org. Audio file encoded using the Ogg Opus lossy encoding format. The Opus format is designed for Internet audio streaming, that is, the transmission of sound over the Internet. The main advantages of the codec are low encoding latency (from 2.5 to 60 ms) and its high speed, a very high compression ratio of audio data with a very decent sound quality, support for multichannel audio (up to 255 channels). Opus is a completely open source, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec. Opus is good for streaming both speech and music over the Internet. It's also great for storage and streaming.
