Okay I simplified it even further after figuring out what those parameters in the variable name do

ffmpeg.exe -i "%1" -c:v libvpx -crf 18 -b:v 4M -metadata title="%~nx1" "%1.webm"

Seems to be functionally equivalent at least for my usage.

A little while before I used it for something really quickly and was impressed at how much faster it was than I remember it (I stopped using it around the time chrome came out).
