MakeWebVideos
MakeWebVideos is a command-line utility for automatically generating web-ready videos from a set of mp4, ogg, or webm videos. By inputting a file glob and an out directory, makeWebVideos will export mp4, ogv, and webm copies of the videos.
Installation
npm install -g make-web-videos
Prerequisites
You must have ffmpeg installed. If this script silently fails, it may be because you do not have ffmpeg installed.
On Mac, you can install ffmpeg using macports: port install ffmpeg

makeWebVideos <input_glob> options

Example
The following code will convert all mp4 videos in the current directory and output new videos to an "out" directory. If "out" does not exist, it will be created.
