This is a good point, actually this might be what ffmpeg.js is already doing. I was wondering why they went out of the way to run the worker and pull ffmpeg code from unpkg.com, but I suppose that makes sense now!

Thanks for the tip, I'm certainly no legal expert!



If you use the GPL license what codec are you using when encoding?

If I remember right the H264 encoder is not in the GPL version.


I am using H264, but I'm now considering other options!
