### Full command line options | |
``` | |
ffmpeg -f gif -i FOO.gif -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:v libx264 -movflags +faststart -filter:v crop='floor(in_w/2)*2:floor(in_h/2)*2' BAR.mp4 | |
``` | |
### Notie | |
* output mp4 is encoded with h264, support Firefox/Chrome/Safari in Windows, Mac OSX, Android, and iOS. | |
* one mp4 file for all platforms, there is no need to encode an extra `webm` movie, which encoding speed is pretty slow. | |
* format as `yuv420p` for Firefox compatibility, the downside is color becomes less-saturate than original gif. | |
* yuv420p only support even width/height, so crop filter is required | |
* `-movflags +faststart` flags are optimized for online view in browser | |
* compression ratio typically 10:1, pretty awesome. note that if original gif is < 512KB, convert as mp4 is less efficient. | |
