As their github page says, based on https://ffmpegwasm.netlify.app https://ffmpegwasm.netlify.app ... I'm guessing no one did GPU-optimizations? I saw a web ap

  It’s nice if you have a modern computer, but I wonder what happens when the client has a very old computer or a “Chromebook”. Will the experience for those low end computers be degraded?

  The algs for media codecs are typically in handwritten assembly in combination with C. Actual GPU hardware acceleration implements specific media algorithms in hardware and is not accessible from the browser. I'm not aware of any kind of gpu codec algs that work in browser.

    They could use the WebCodec APIs to decode frames using the hardware, similar to how ffmpeg already supports VA-API for hardware decoding.
