JavaScript can be the missing spork in ffmpeg's swiss army knife
summary
Claims a working proof of concept that embeds Google's V8 into ffmpeg and creates a mipp filter to run user JavaScript on each frame, with C++ shims to pass frames in and out and a generated binding layer to expose APIs. Uses chyo graphics as a canvas-like drawing backend and preserves RGBA buffers to avoid copies. Demo shows a DVD-logo overlay implemented in JS and argues for sandboxed, uploadable filters.
