    FFmpeg for browser, powered by WebAssembly

  • This looks neat but pure port seems to be stretching it:

  • A year ago, I wanted to use this library but it's way too buggy imo. Stuff kept breaking, incompatible with React. Tried to use with Electron.js only to find out it's not supported (I think the issue's still open).

    So I ditched this in favor of real ffmpeg binary that I can download according to someone's PC architecture. It works better and is also fast. Downsides? I can't use it on the web but at least electron.js would allow me to use the binary.
