You're derping, but a browser plugin seems like it might actually be a good idea for this. Even if JS is too slow, someone who uploads lots of video through a site might well be willing to install a little plugin to make it faster, especially if it comes with other simple things like queuing a directory of videos, etc.
- robryan 16y agoWonder if something like the Google Native Client would be good for this in the future? (Don't know a whole heap about it so may be off the mark)
- barrkel 16y agoNaCl might be good for doing the transcoding on the client side before uploading - and would be especially helpful if the transcoding is a downsampling (i.e. reducing stream length), and if the client machine is beefy enough to do it without adversely affecting performance when pumping out bits at the rate of the upload connection. However, it wouldn't be particularly useful for things like queuing uploads from a directory. The point of NaCl is running native machine code in a provably secure sandbox. It's about making possible web app features faster on the client side, rather than adding new capability, per se.
