I have a .webm video captured through a web browser. Using ffmpeg, I want to trim it into its first 30s without re-encoding and quality degradation. But I have issues doing it and ffmpeg complains about it.

What is the problem? How can I address it?

ffmpeg -i video.webm -to 30 -c copy out.webm

Error:

[webm @ 0000014ea3249a00] Only VP8 or VP9 or AV1 video and Vorbis or Opus audio and WebVTT subtitles are supported for WebM.
Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?): Invalid argument

    WebRTC saves even H264 to webm which is not compatible. Save to mkv.

  • Would it work to save to .mp4? Any issues? It works for me though.

  • Depends on the codecs.

  • AVC video and Opus audio.

    AVC is fine Opus is not commonly accepted in MP4. Transcode audio to AAC.
