ffmpeg.wasm

this might be an extremely stupid question, but is this just a demo project of https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm? or is this bringing forth some other utility that im not seeing?

Similar to https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm ?

I have been running this for at least a year, it works great. I have it resizing video, and save to raw pixel data that I use to extract pixel color info for use in my web application. Anything ffmpeg does (except streaming because it doesn't have network access) can be done in the browser. https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm

Thank you FFmpeg developers and contributors! If there's anything that needs audio/video automation, I've always turned to FFmpeg, it's such a crucial and indispensible tool and so many online video tools use it and are generally a UI wrapper around this wonderful tool. TIL - there's FFmpeg.Wasm also [0]. In Jan 2024, I had used it to extract frames of 1993 anime movie in 15 minutes video segments, upscaled it using Real-ESRGAN-ncnn-vulkan [1] then recombining the output frames for final 4K upscaled anime [2]. FWIW, if I had built a UI on this workflow it could've become a tool similar to Topaz AI which is quite popular these days.

Great work on this - I made a terminal command similar to this (llmpeg), and was actively trying to get exactly this working - a webasm compiled version of ffmpeg that could encode in the browser. I for the life of me couldn't get the provided examples on https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm to run. Just for my own development curiosity, was there anything specific you had to do to get ffmpegwasm to work?

The JS ports of FFmpeg (or WASM port if you want the in-browser approach) are very old and would be more than present in modern LLM training datasets, albeit likely not enough of a proportion for LLMs to understand it well. https://github.com/Kagami/ffmpeg.js/ https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm

Like this? https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm

I get to be one of the lucky few to learn today that ffmpeg was ported (well, transpiled) to WASM. This is more specifically built on that port: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm That project has an interactive playground that essentially describes and demonstrates how it works: https://ffmpegwasm.netlify.app/playground This also means that despite being a locally hosted ffmpeg frontend, it's still slower than native ffmpeg and bound to WASM limits like file size (still a generous 2GB for images and audio, but not as viable for big video conversions). Still weird that this project doesn't seem to acknowledge that anywhere.

Hi HN! I'm Ivan, the creator of this extension and with it you can now right-click any gif on Google Chrome (desktop) to share it with any of your contacts on WhatsApp Web, you can also use it to upload animated GIFs from your computer, you can even drag-and-drop MP4 files to it and they will be treated as gifs (e.g. they will loop, muted of course). A nice feature coming soon its that it will let you share non-gif images using same context menu option. To create it I had to do a bit of reverse-engineering of the existing JavaScript found at https://web.whatsapp.com/, which is actually a minified React app, I found out that it uses WebSockets to communicate with the backend but thankfully to create this extension I was able to avoid fiddling with those messages. Under the hood it uses the amazing library ffmpeg.wasm (the JS port of ffmpeg

> is there a "ffmpeg in the browser"? I don't know if this project uses it, but there's ffmpeg.wasm [1]. 1: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm

Actually it is: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm, but for this particular project it seems using mp4box from gpac

There's already ffmpeg wasm. I've used it in projects. Works great. https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm

It is already https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm

One that comes to mind is the WASM port of FFmpeg: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm Another is the SQLite WASM project: https://sqlite.org/wasm/doc/trunk/index.md Also v86 for x86 machine virtualization in the web browser: https://github.com/copy/v86 A fun project is WASM-4, for building retro-style games: https://wasm4.org/ Possibly more interesting projects to be found here: https://github.com/topics/wasm https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm

https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm#what-is-the-maximu... I looked at the ffmpeg inputfile and its a uint8, converted a file object to uint8 did not work too - gives a file format error! any updates on this?
