What happens to quality

This is a full re-encode — video is decoded and compressed again, so some detail is lost. VP9 handles high-motion scenes and flat gradients better than H.264 at the same bitrate.

When not to use this

Safari's WebM support is comparatively recent and still narrower than its MP4 support; iOS in particular is happier with MP4. Encoding is also slower than a straight copy.

Video conversions typically take 10-60 seconds depending on the file size and your device performance.
