As you know, VP9 is an open and royalty-free video codec developed by Google to mainly compete with H.265/HEVC. Ordinarily, VP9 is supposed to be welcomed and popularized in our daily use since it can deliver high-quality video while keeping a smaller file size. However, VP9 is typically used for online streaming like its successor AV1 codec, and its support is common among modern web browsers. Therefore, VP9-encoded videos may not play well in some media players and devices, and even fail to decode.

If you focus on video distributing, playback, transferring, and backup on different devices, you're recommended to convert VP9-encoded video to H.264 as it is still the most commonly used format supported by different platforms, devices, hardware and software. To this end, this post will guide you through how to batch convert VP9 to H.264 in video files.
