Hello,
Vegas Pro cannot open videos with the new VP9 codec (which competes with H.265).
I need to convert them to H.264 in order to open them.
Unfortunately, apart from the Faasoft Video Converter at 50 euros, I can't find any software that can convert VP9 to something else.
Do you know of any software that can convert this codec (if possible for free or cheaper)?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
I’m recovering a 20-second video, which I use for testing, in VP9 and Vorbis encapsulated in webm here: https://geekmps.fr/tests/434-test-rapide-plutot-lent-du-codec-vp9-avec-ffmpeg
The original video is under CC-BY license (Creative Commons), official site: https://peach.blender.org/
Tests succeeded with these "free" software:
- HandBrake
- Hybrid : issue with re-encoding the original audio, so it works for video only. I don’t use this software often, so it's probably a configuration error on my part.
To work around this issue, I encoded the audio separately with MediaCoder Audio (another software could probably work as well), and that works fine.
- SUPER : but the software closed abruptly at the end of the encoding
- VidCoder
- XMedia Recode : use the portable version if you want
This is the one I would suggest first.
Other applications could of course probably be used.
Best regards

I have to admit that at no point did I expect such a response. You took the time and effort to test for me which software could encode VP9 into something else.
I just tested Handbrake, where I converted a 308MB ultra HD VP9 video into MP4, and the video converted successfully: It is logically larger, 486MB, which proves there is no loss. Plus, Handbrake didn't touch the resolution; I still have 3840X1902 pixels.
I will still try the other software you suggested except for Super, which I also had issues with (in my case, the software displayed an error message before even starting). I will choose the one that seems the most intuitive to me.
Thank you, ziggourat, for providing me with several reliable solutions. Once again, the ccm community has proven how useful it is.

Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate operates on a fairly high amount of system resources and completes an H.265 to H.264 encoding task without causing us difficulties along the way quickly. The image and sound are maintained at a very good quality in the output files. I highly recommend this tool for all users.
