After reading the thread "Can anyone suggest a good free bink to webm converter?" I tried to convert one of my Bink files (Dreamcatcher1.bik) with the installed ffmpeg 2.8.14 and the suggested ffmpeg -i INPUT_FILE.bik -c:v libvpx -b:v 1M -c:a libvorbis -f webm OUTPUT_FILE.wbmbut NWN-EE refused to load it. After inspecting the working beamdog.wbm I tried to use the same audio rate of 48000 instead of the original 44100 and a video rate of 30 instead of 15, but still to no avail. mplayer can play both without problems. Does anybody have an idea what NWN-EE doesn't like?
To give some details about the converted Dreamcatcher1.wbm I'll add the output of "mplayer -identify": Playing Dreamcatcher1.wbm.

For me that looks similar enough to the output for beamdog.wbm, but apparently I'm missing something: Playing /home/nwn/lib/beamdog/00785/data/mov/beamdog.wbm.

Might it be the movie aspect? Does anybody has an idea, what else to try?
Did you try my convert batch I linked in the discussion? It might be the naming, I hear linux does not like capital letters. Take the Dreamcatcher1 and rename it dreamcatcher1 and then go into the toolset module and make sure that is the selected one.
@Trustryg Did you get this to work with the command line in linux, other options are using the converter on windows machine and just copy it over to linux with a flash drive/email/etc.. I could also convert it for you if you want. I think I might set up a repository of converted blink on the vault.

I've used exactly the same ffmpeg options that are used in the ConvertBik.bat (see above). Being on Linux I can't use your converter batch directly.
