Real-Time Video Processing with WebCodecs and Streams
From developer.mozilla.org [0]
> WebCodecs API
> The WebCodecs API gives web developers low-level access to the individual frames of a video stream and chunks of audio. It is useful for web applications that require full control over the way media is processed. For example, video or audio editors, and video conferencing.
And from w3c [1]:
> The WebCodecs API allows web applications to encode and decode audio and video
All this looks really promising, I wouldn't have thought that we could use browsers directly to render videos. Maybe Puppeteer could then stream the content of the page it is rendering, for example a three.js animation.

Microsoft Clipchamp
As I understand it, Web Codecs is quite a ways away from being a web standard - it is currently just a draft[1] for a recommendation for a possible future standard.
Just beware of any major API changes or any indication that it might be dropped in its entirety!

Chrome 94 Beta: WebCodecs, WebGPU, Scheduling, and More
WebCodecs has Mozilla and Microsoft coauthors: https://w3c.github.io/webcodecs/
WebGPU was chartered in 2017, with more Apple people in the initial membership than Mozilla or Google people: https://gpuweb.github.io/admin/cg-charter.html
Google specifically has approached Apple for input about scheduler.postTask(), and they say they've presented the proposal before at a working group that Apple is part of: https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2021-June/0319...
I won't disagree that there's a ton that can be improved about the process, but it seems pretty unsubstantiated to claim that Google is "rushing forwards as fast as possible" given that they've been spending years working on these APIs in public. You can see from the rest of the post that they're running some experiments which they're specifically choosing not to enable by default, though they could.

Show HN: I made a meme creator that makes around $4k a month
I work for PaperlessPost.com, and for our Flyer product we export mp4s from ffmpeg compiled to WASM, which is similar to ffmpeg.js but optimized for our use case which sounds similar. We have this WebAssembly method working well but iOS 15 (and the other major browsers) now support MediaExporter which might be a better way to go if you have something else to convert these files. This becomes and issue because you can't control the format MediaRecorder is recording to but the management of memory, the image quality, the compression, the performance hit will be more ideal than these other methods. OMGgif is very slow and will produce large files or very bad looking ones. Keep in mind that GIFs limit the colors so something that looks nice on the screen might not look the same after it is saved. The other thing to look out for is the WebCodecs APIs which should be the ultimate way to handle all of this in the future but it is only working in Chrome I think https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs

Loading Audio in Node JS
While in theory it might be possible to run ffmpeg through emscripten and run it in a web worker (I certainly assume someone has done this), it's not necessarily practical to try and use the same technique from node to transcode audio on the web. The good news is that the w3c has chartered a working group to focus on web codecs. While this is at the time of writing still in early stages, the working group is powering ahead on designing and proposing an API to enable media transcoding on the web, and hopefully that will become available to us in the near future.

"This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser. (Error #4000) " on twitch with new laptop
a link to the video would help with troubleshooting, seems like another case of "this site or this particular feature doesn't support firefox" otherwise report to https://webcompat.com/

Hamrobazaar not opening in Firefox
Have any of you faced this? If the website is made to open only in chromium-based browsers, I am planning to report to Webcompat. But before that, I thought I would make sure from others. Any experience or quick fix would be appreciated.

Switching from Chrome to Firefox? Here Are Some Tips
Teams was a classic hellhole for me when I was using Linux. Nowadays it lets you in but Firefox genuinely doesn't support all of the features the Teams site uses. This means certain features are made unavailable to Firefox users. Forcing the user agent makes some of these partially work but they are also still broken so Mozilla doesn't want to enable a user agent override by default and Microsoft doesn't want to enable a feature that only half works.
This GitHub WebCompat issue serves as a good example history https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/77892

Firefox Finally Outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider
having recently looked at a firefox performance regression for filing a bugreport, tooling that tracks performance (quite publicly) sees attention, easy upload to share tracing profiles also helps: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/perfdocs/ind...
Their dedicated blog keeps you posted if firefox perf is your interest https://blog.mozilla.org/performance/
If you have a particular website you notice chromium being significantly faster with, for an easy report, there's https://webcompat.com/ - though bugzilla is better than it seems when coming from github issues
