If this file came out of a browser recorder, its duration metadata is often missing or wrong. The audio is fine; it is the header that is lazy. Their caps exist because every conversion runs on a machine they rent. Yours runs on the machine in front of you.

  1. 1

    Where your WebM came from

    WebM is what a browser writes when it records, and what a lot of the web serves. Inside is usually Opus or Vorbis audio.

  2. 2

    Why you are converting it

    Almost everything outside a browser. A WebM is excellent on a page and unwelcome on a desktop, in a car, or in anything with a timeline. MP3 is the format nothing refuses. That is its entire remaining argument and it is a good one.

  3. 3

    What it costs

    MP3 is lossy, so a little goes at any bitrate. 192 kbps is transparent for speech and close to it for music; 320 is the ceiling and is only worth it when the source was better than the target.
