    Wasm ffmpeg is much slower for sure and multithreading for wasm ffmpeg is buggy you need to control threads per pipeline step to get it working.

    Wow this is really cool thanks a lot for sharing I was a bit demotivated from all the errors I have on sentry ahahha. I did give ffmpeg wasm my best shot, even trying worker fs to …

    Agreed but I guess at the same time those who spend money to develop software need to find ways to monetise I just wish they were not so predatory. Everything is a subscription now…
