Converting videos to .ogg manually with QuicktimeTools.exe

quicktimetools_convert_video_to_ogg

HOW TO
– Open command prompt
– Go to your unity5 data folder, for example, C:\Program Files\Unity\Editor\Data\Tools\
– Run this command below to convert your videos: (*set correct paths to input and output videos, unless they are in the same directory)
> QuicktimeTools.exe transcode -input “yourvideo.mp4” -output “yourvideo.ogg”-vbr “4100000.000000” -abr “156000.000000”

BENEFITS
– Progress bar is displayed for the conversion!!1 (its super slow for big files..)
– You can cancel conversion with CTRL+C in the command prompt window
– You can keep working on unity while its converting
– Can open multiple command prompts to convert multiple files at the same time

OTHER NOTES

– If video importing doesnt work inside unity, download latest QuickTime player : https://www.apple.com/quicktime/


..Unity5\Editor\Data\Tools\QuicktimeTools.exe transcode -input yourvideo.mp4 -output "yourvideo.ogg" -vbr "4100000.000000" -abr "156000.000000"
