Now I can't install the latest version though, as it keeps saying I have an older version installed. Unfortunately, I can't find the installation entry in my Apps/Programs uninstallation list in Control panel and can't uninstall it. Is it possible for you to set the next version so that it just overwrites the currently installed plugin instead of needing to uninstall the old version?<br /><br />Barring that, how would I uninstall the old plugin manually so that I can install the latest version?<br /><br />Thanks!Carlos Nazarenohttp://object404.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-49787546627279911272016-06-22T23:43:16.719-07:002016-06-22T23:43:16.719-07:00Awesome thank you!Awesome thank you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18208989956090552198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-80442152844514955222016-06-22T15:28:05.365-07:002016-06-22T15:28:05.365-07:00Seems back up now, try again!Seems back up now, try again!Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810877387574644692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-76263920259326772352016-06-22T13:17:51.049-07:002016-06-22T13:17:51.049-07:00Is your site down?

They wrote their own decoder, but decoding is OK in libvpx in my opinion. I recommend exploring the custom arguments like --cpu-used to speed things up.

However I think using "--cpu-used=4" = not a good comparison with H264. The help text for the webm codec says: about this:<br /><br />Setting a value of 4 or 5 will turn off "rate distortion optimisation" which has a big impact on quality.<br /><br />Instead I have used "--threads=8 --token-parts=3" and went to VP8 and that took the cpu usage up to being around 65% and the encoding time to around 50 minutes which is still a lot more the the 23 minutes the premiere pro H264 encoder takes. The standard Premiere pro HEVC/H265 encoder takes only 35 minutes which is still faster then the Webm VP8 encoding and encodes approximately at the same quality to bitrate ratio as Webmn VP9. <br /><br />So I tested these same parameters on a VP9 encoding (same premiere sequence) and the CPU went down to an average of 53% and encoding time was just over 2 hours and 15 minutes. Much better then the original 9 hours but still way slower then the H265 encoding of 35 minutes.<br /><br />I found another parameter that would directly influence cpu usage --rt=0 that would have to pump upo the cpu uasge to 100% according to its description. However that did not really do the job it was supposed to do. CPU averaged to 62% and encoding time went up to above 6 hours. It seemd to be more concerned with itself then with encoding when this parameter is used.<br /><br />So for youtube movies I will still go for the H264 or H265 standard encoders in premiere pro considering the speeed of encoding and the fact that youtube compresses it further down the quality line then I deliver it anyway.<br /> <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151894697731591241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-90883025405888644012016-02-05T11:16:02.923-08:002016-02-05T11:16:02.923-08:00The plug-in is slow because Google's encoder i...The plug-in is slow because Google's encoder is slow. But there are some things you can do to speed it up, mostly at the cost of encoding efficiency (i.e. picture quality for a given data rate).<br /><br />First, you can switch to the VP8 codec. This is a more fair comparison with H.264 anyway.<br /><br />Second, you can experiment with different <a href="http://www.webmproject.org/docs/encoder-parameters/" rel="nofollow">encoder arguments</a>. Try putting "--cpu-used=4" in the custom args field.<br /><br />Third, switch off 2-pass encoding. It's the first pass that uses little CPU power, the second does multi-threading better.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810877387574644692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-45463715855515366482016-02-04T15:06:25.759-08:002016-02-04T15:06:25.759-08:00Im am affraid to say it but this plugin is very sl...Im am affraid to say it but this plugin is very slow in the Adobe media encoder. I wanted to encode a 50FPS h264 source into Webm with this plugin in Premiere CC 2015.2 and it said it was going to take 9 hours to encode a video of less than 15 minutes. That is not an amount of time I am willing to wait for my encoding. Encoding the same sequence in H264/mpeg4 takes about 23 minutes. <br />I see that the media encoder is not taking more then 30% of CPU on my machine so it looks like it is not using all 8 threads to the maximum on my Core I7. I guess this plugin needs some work to optimize it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11151894697731591241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064694491023513043.post-88207929768650250492015-12-10T09:30:18.798-08:002015-12-10T09:30:18.798-08:00Some videos may play very poorly, especially if th...Some videos may play very poorly, especially if they have very large GOPs.
