What changes when you convert Y4M to OPUS

  • Y4M video is lossless and Opus audio is lossy: the quality slider decides how much detail is traded for size, and output files are usually far smaller.
  • Y4M video animation cannot be expressed in Opus audio; the first frame is converted as a still image.
  • The video’s audio track is extracted and re-encoded to Opus audio; video frames are discarded.
  • Opus audio encoding exposes a quality control; around 80 is the usual sweet spot.
