WasmVideoEncoder
Video utils for the browser using FFmpeg with WebAssembly, primarily developed for use in musicvid.org. Currently encodes raw image and audio data, and muxes into mp4 format (x264 video, mp3 audio).
Example usage in the demo folder, it's the code for the demo website linked earlier.
See webassembly/C/avio_write.c for the main code of the encoder and webassembly/C/avio_read.c for the decoder.
Pthreads to be implemented, but will hold off since they aren't very stable at the moment.
Build
Makefile & patches from ffmpeg.js / videoconverter.js
apt-get update
apt-get -y install wget python git automake libtool build-essential cmake libglib2.0-dev closure-compiler
[[[install and activate emsdk]]]
cd [this repo]
git submodule init
git submodule update --recursive
to run tests without Emscripten:
cd build/reg
make
cd ../../C
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/WasmVideoEncoder/webassembly/build/reg/lib
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/WasmVideoEncoder/webassembly/build/reg/lib/pkgconfig
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
make [your test]
to build for exporting with Emscripten:
cd build/em
make
cd ../..
make encode.js
Benchmarks
These are mostly for comparison with later versions with threads/SIMD
