Need to record encoding settings somewhere, I can never find them when I need to do new ones. Godot is rather impoverished on format support (VP8/VP9/Theora) and chokes hard on good (slow) profiles. The GDNative ffmpeg plugin isn't a silver bullet either, at least the old version wasn't.

Videos must have an audio track. Hopefully one day they won't need one. We don't use it since we need an audio file (like most rhythm games) for preview and reliable (no lag) playback anyway.
VP8 is the only viable codec. VP9 is far too slow and Theora has absolutely terrible filesizes for our target quality.
Slower VP8 profiles and settings are not viable. I need to find what I settled on before as there was a lot of testing involved.

Found my old script, unfortunately it passed bitrate as an argument so that will need to be determined still.
ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:v libvpx -b:v ${bitrate} -deadline realtime -cpu-used 1 "${i%.*}.webm"
