Introduction to WebAssembly and Its Application in Live Streaming Transcoding
WebAssembly enables high‑performance, ahead‑of‑time compiled code to run in browsers, and iQIYI leverages it by writing a C‑based FLV‑to‑MP4 transcoder compiled to Wasm, executed in a Web Worker, which boosts live‑stream conversion speed, reduces CPU usage, and opens doors for further web‑based media processing.
