Thank you for the info and the links.

Had a look at his build script in the source package.

Looks like he may have run into the same 'road block' ... no libvpx
therefore his ffmpeg.exe also does not have the capability to encode into WEBM

I too do not actually use ffmpeg nor mplayer in DOS anymore.
(used to quite few years ago, but now only in Linux)

This entire ffmpeg process (and my unsuccessful attempts at mplayer back in 2021/2022),
were both just to prove that it could still be done.

Even if someone finds or is able to port libvpx... I think I'm done with it now.
