Yes, the tool creates a 720p mp4 as the first step of snatching it from
YouTube - it's 751 Kbps video and 112 Kbps audio.
I manually snatched the 720p mp4 from YouTube at the best rate that it
would give - 1135 Kbps video and 192 Kbps audio, and then I manually
converted that to webm and tried to optimise the compression, so it's
somewhat different from the auto-created version on Commons.
As it turns out, my old eyes can't detect any difference in quality between
any of the bitrates, so I reckon that Fireogg and your script turn out just
as good results as me trying to optimise everything. As I said - nice work!
Cheers

Hehe - I was converting it to webm at the same time.

Rexx, I may be wrong (I did not follow the development of this feature
in any detail), but your webm version is probably the same as the webm
version included in the different transcoded files that Commons
generates. Check the bottom section, "Transcode status", of the image
page at <

It gives several handy different types of file that can be downloaded.
