Encoding Video

Installing

Install FFmpeg with homebrew. You'll need to install it with a couple flags for webm and the AAC audio codec.

brew install ffmpeg --with-libvpx --with-libvorbis --with-fdk-aac --with-opus

Live Transcoding

This is a collection of working commandline examples to show how one could use FFMpeg and VLC for live transcoding of video streams. All examples have been tested on OSX 10.7.5 with FFMPeg 1.1.3 and VLC 2.0.5 in early 2013.
