I cannot upload a WebM file containing OPUS audio and a still image (a png file) as VP9 video to YouTube, YouTube says :

The video has failed to process. Please make sure you are uploading a supported file type.

This Google page says WebM is supported.

I used ffmpeg to create the WebM file with the following line :

$ ffmpeg -i myOriginialPureAudioFile-CUT.opus -i myAudioFile.png -ac 2 -af aresample=48k -b:a 128k -r pal -s 640x360 myAudioFile.webm

The resulting WebM file looks like this :

$ ffprobe myAudioFile.webm
Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'myAudioFile.webm':
  Metadata:
    ENCODER         : Lavf57.83.100
  Duration: 00:06:00.01, start: -0.007000, bitrate: 104 kb/s

I tried different standard frame rates, bit rates, resolutions and audio sampling frequencies for half of my weekend, nothing seems to satisfy YouTube, can you please help me ?

I had to loop infinitely through the image with :

  • Yup. You have to provide an actual video feed, not just a still image with audio. Nov 24, 2018 at 12:41
