Comment on Emscripten and asm.js: C++'s role in the modern webparent

Comments

As impressive as it is, I think it shows some limitations of the system:

"The ffmpeg.js file is around 24.1 MB or so. It ends up being around 6.1 MB gzipped.

The ffmpeg-all-codecs.js file is around 27.5 MB or so. It ends up being around 6.9 MB gzipped."

EDIT: With a fast connection it´s actually not so bad. https://video-funhouse.herokuapp.com/

I imagine it would be possible to generate a smaller version selecting only a subset of features/codecs.

Has someone tried it ?
