Yes, you are absolutely correct. It’s not sufficient to only use ffmpeg.wasm and pass string arguments. There have been many use cases where we needed to use libav to implement workarounds.

Are there any patent issues with mp4 you had to worry about?

Yes, we have used a free and open-source alternative to h264 to avoid it

What is it you have used?
Note that a lot of the ffmpeg code is not memory safe and some of the file/codec plugins contain memory errors. An out-of-bounds read or write will bring down the entire wasm subsystem (and does). You have to manually figure out which codecs are actually safe to use in the browser, vs which ones are merely exposed by the ffmpeg wasm builds.
