Limits
Starting point: MPV - MPV holds elementary MPEG video streams without a container wrapper. No audio can be stored, so pair it with a separate track. Closed-caption tracks need separate extraction before conversion. Encode LXF (MPEG-2 / PCM) from MPV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
How conversion works
Conversion runs entirely in your browser with FFmpeg WASM. Files never leave your device.
