So I guess, regarding a theoretical "everything in the browser" future, the swiss-army tools like VLC and ffmpeg would either have to pack their own performant codecs in wasm, or stay as desktop / CLI applications.

(Not that it would make any sense to implement ffmpeg on top of WebCodecs on top of ffmpeg. Just needed an example.)

I hope I have not completely missed the train by focusing on other areas outside of web.
