Re: Non-GPL option for adding audio to WebM file

[Basil Mohamed Gohar]

Gstreamer can do it as well, but I'm not sure if the license will be
suitable for your needs. But are you planning on *distributing* the
tool with your code, or just use the tool and then distribute the video
with it?

If you need to link the library from your code, then you can use libwebm, which is released under the same license as libvpx.

If you're on Windows, you can use the DirectShow components. (You'll
have to build from sources.) I think the makewebm will do what your'e
asking for directly.

I am aware of mvkmerge as an option for merging audio and video. However, it uses the GPL license. Is there a non-GPL alternative for adding audio to a WebM file, or is there some easier way to add audio that I am missing?

Thanks,

Sounds like gpl fud. anwsers: http://www.gnu.org.

I had to do this for a game recently as well. Indeed if you want to
link the tool into your game and not GPL the whole thing your options
are somewhat limited.

You can use libwebm, libvorbis, and libvpx. Also check out holly,
which has the three put together for you:

Of course, moments after I post this I see the reply where you already
found this option ;)

Sorry for the noise!
