What on earth is a "pure webassembly/javascript port"? It's gotta be one or both of those to run in a browser regardless. Is it just ffmpeg compiled to wasm thr

  It's called a port because probably more work went into making it work than just recompiling.

  there is always two part to these ports: - a webassembly blob - a javascript wrapper to call the webassembly's functions from js in a practical way.

  This is what it seems to be. The repo in this thread depends on another package which is the actual bulk of work: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm-core https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm-core (fork of ffmpeg with emmake in a build script). There definitely does seem to be some other work in there in terms of getting it to actually work though. And tests.
