No, this isn't a usage/GUI/frontend question; it's entirely a encoder marketshare question. In ffmpeg or libav, this VPx encoding is provided if you've specifically compiled in the WebMProject's libvpx. I'm just trying to ascertain to see if there's some other tool out there that encodes into these formats. Despite having lots of decoders (including hardware [1]), it appears encoding support is hard to come by. Especially versus H.264, where there are many encoders, commercial or otherwise, that produce H.264 streams; VP9 hinges entirely on Google's own code, and even then you have to compile it yourself (or somehow obtain a build).
