I don’t know of any ‘script’ that will convert a video in one format to another…that’s something you would have to do yourself.

You can use ffmpeg for transcoding the videos into the different formats. Figuring out the correct command line parameters for your videos will require some extra work.

Here’s what I used for some Full-HD videos:

REM mp4  (H.264 / ACC)
"ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -b:v 12000k -vcodec libx264 -vpre slow -vpre baseline                                             -g 30 %~n1.mp4

REM webm (VP8 / Vorbis)
"ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -codec:v libvpx -threads 4 -quality best -vb 12000k -qmin 20 -qmax 63 -acodec libvorbis -ab 190000 -f webm -g 30 %~n1.webm

REM ogv  (Theora / Vorbis)
"ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -b:v 12000k -vcodec libtheora                           -acodec libvorbis -ab 190000                  -g 30 %~n1.ogv

REM jpeg (screenshot at 10 seconds)
"ffmpeg.exe" -i %1 -ss 00:10 -vframes 1 -r 1 -s 640x360 -f image2 %1.jpg

Put that code in a batch file (on Windows) und run that file with your video as a parameter, like so:

mp4converter.bat "path-to-video.mp4"

To exclude an output format, just put “REM” (without quotes) in front of the line.
