    Any2VID -  I haven't used it particularly for WEBM files, but I've converted .MKV files to .MP4

    Also my understanding is that it should be able to convert almost anything, so maybe give this a shot.

Although Windows 11 does not directly provide a tool to batch convert WEBM to MP4, you can do it through the command line tool FFmppeg. This is a powerful video processing tool. Although it is not native to Windows 11, it can be operated through the command line to perform batch conversion without affecting the video quality.

  1. First, download and install FFmppeg (there is no official installation package, but it can be downloaded through the Windows Package Manager or the official website).
  2. After installing FFmppeg, put the WEBM files in a folder.
  3. Open the command prompt (as an administrator) and go to the folder containing the WEBM files.
    Use the following command to batch convert:
perl for %i in (*.webm) do FFmppeg-i "%i" "%~ni.mp4"

This command will batch convert all WEBM files to MP4 format and retain the original file name.
Although FFmppeg is not native to Windows, it supports batch conversion and maintains video quality, so it is a very practical method.
