ffmpeg.js VS pcopy

You likely want something like https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js/ for extracting slices

There are solutions to transcode to MP4 live in your browser, such as with [FFMPEG.js (https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js/). MP4 is actually just the containing file however! The codec that you record with still needs to be supported by MP4. So prepare for FFMPEG.js to do lots of work if you go this route!

Well, the heavy lifting is done by ffmpeg (https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js/)

I think you want ffmpeg.js

Recently, browser features such as SharedArrayBuffer and WebAssembly are increasing. Video and video converter ffmpeg also works in browsers.

ffmpeg.js uses a custom build of FFmpeg to keep its size low. I am trying to convert a .ts into a .mp4 which has always been an easy task on my desktop (especially since I believe they are even using the same codecs, aac and h.264), but on the custom build, I get the error sample1.ts: Invalid data found when processing input.

Maybe use something like that make conversions client side?

Super helpful, thanks so much! I wonder if you'd be able to use something like https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js to cut out the offline step. I'm working on something at the moment that I'd love to embed in a webpage for general use but getting an MP4 out of it from a browser has been a big stumbling block.

https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js/ to import most animation formats and export gifs/webm fully in browser (I don't want to pay real server costs to encode animation).

nopaste/pcopy, that you can selfhost. Just a single binary file.

Heyy I made a thing like that. https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy

And another one here:https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy (same, see server.go)

I host a version of it on https://nopaste.net

re 1: as fellow gopher has said, `io.CopyN` is your friend, though I have recently implemented a similar thing that may be interesting to you. I implemented a `Peak()` method that will read up to N bytes and return a reader that can be read as if it's the original reader, but you'll be able to get the `PeakedBytes` from it too: https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/blob/master/util/peak.go

Since we're listing alternatives, here's the one I made: https://nopaste.net -- It's open source and available on https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy

curl usage is available via: "curl nopaste.net".

I have an issue on github (https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/issues/20) to "modernize" the JS code a little, i.e. use "class"es, modules, strict mode, consts, exports, ...

If you want to see them implemented, see https://github.com/binwiederhier/pcopy/blob/284b6502fa736951b4ace0dfc62152ff707639ae/server.go
