straight-to-video

straight-to-video optimizes video entirely in the browser using WebCodecs API. Files are remuxed & re-encoded to meet the requirements of the Instagram API, which is as good a lowest-common-denominator as any. I'm not here to save the planet—I wrote this because I'm cheap and I was sick of waiting all day to upload 4K videos to my Rails app, only to have to pay Heroku tooth-and-nail to transcode those videos for me. That said, if everyone were to plug this into their HTML forms tomorrow, it'd save users and developers a gobsmacking amount of bandwidth and server costs. Seriously, most off-iPhone videos are in the neighborhood of 90-95% smaller after running through `straight-to-video` optimization, sometimes shaving tens of minutes from the time it would take to upload at 30 Mbps. straight-to-video is the open-source project searlsco/straight-to-video (https://github.com/searlsco/straight-to-video) by searlsco, released under MIT. Ion packages it unmodified from commit 2699bfa0b68e, adding only a manifest, an icon and a storage compatibility script.
