What can be used besides avconv(FFMpeg) to convert video on Linux?

Question

linux

Hello. There is video hosting, on the server 1GB of RAM, 10GB of HDD (yes, I know that this is not enough for video hosting), 1 core. We convert video via avconv (ffmpeg), convert MP4 video (21s, 5.21mb, 720p) to WebM (we use WebM for playback) more than 2 minutes. And "eats" up to 100% of the CPU, usually about 90% -98% of the CPU. AVI is faster, but eats the same way. Maybe there is an alternative?
