ffmpeg - convert videos using the VP9 codec - prepare multiple resolutions for DASH

ffmpeg-VP9-encoder.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Prepare the videos to be used over http with the MPEG-DASH protocol
# The vp9 codec is used for the videos because h265 is not supported by chrome and h264 is too big
# This script generates webm files
