-Webm is a container similar to mkv and can contain various encoded video or audio streams. To change the container from webm to mkv, the following command can be used:
+webm/mov/mkv/mp4 are container formats and can contain various encoded video or audio streams. To change the container between each other, the following command can be used, provided the used codecs inside the containers are compatible:
 <code>
 ffmpeg -i file.webm -c:a copy -c:v copy file.mkv
 #recursively changing containers:
-find . -name '*.webm' -type f -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i "$0" -c:a copy -c:v copy "${0%.webm}.mkv"' {} \;

-===== change container mkv <-> mp4 =====
+===== high quality conversion to mp4 =====
-To only change the container use the following example command - provided the codecs are compatible with mp4. The quality and size stays the same:
 <code>

+#High quality non-mp4 to mp4 conversion
+find . -type f \( -iname "*.mpg" -o -iname "*.asf" -o -iname "*.wmv" -o -iname "*.mpg" -o -iname "*.mpeg" -o -iname "*.avi" -o -iname "*.divx" -o -iname "*.rmvb" -o -iname "*.rm" -o -iname "*.m4v" -o -iname "*.flv" \) | while read f; do

+done

+<code>
+#Find non-mp4 files
+find . -type f -not \( -iname "*.mp4" \)
