Pretty much everyone (including my $dayjob) seems to do some webm parsing, rewiting, and/or remuxing in JS, or on the backend post-record. There are half a dozen ad hoc webm parsers floating around GitHub for this reason, and a few more minimal WebM or ISOBMFF muxers.

And half the tools don't work on Safari, which makes ISOBMFF in their MediaRecorder implementation.

It really seems to me, as a user (not invloved in the standards) like it was some intenal Chrome functionality that got an API slapped on top and made into a spec. Nothing seems well designed, or... designed at all, tbh.

(Can you tell I've had to work with MediaRecorder? When I read 'The skater punk’s guide to MediaRecorder' I thought it would be one sentence: 'Put it in the trash.')

Apologies for the salt.

So funny to read this for me. I made a pretty good living for myself leveraging MediaRecorder. And "pretty good" is an understatement.

Someone's garbage is someone'else gold....
