Did you know MP4 files recorded with Chrome's MediaRecorder have a duration of 0?
Not a bug in your code. It's how fMP4 works — and it breaks seeking + playback across common players.
We dug into the MP4 structure to explain why (and what to do about it)

We process thousands of recordings daily with FFmpeg.
Here’s how we optimized memory usage without breaking things 👇

@firefox And our webcam resolution tester can be found at https://t.co/10P8awAfS3

So @firefox 144 added support for custom video capture resolutions via getUserMedia()! 🚀
Here’s how it stacks up against 143 using our webcam resolution tester.

We just rolled out a new EU region, here's the gist of it:
1. Two new region options: EU3 and Random EU

3. More capacity
4. Easier updates (for us)
5. Hetzner for compute, Scaleway for storage
6. Available to Creator, PRO plans today

We’ve been using @browserstack to test some 🎥 camera & 🎙️microphone flows. We ended up writing a proper guide on it.

From permissions to device enumeration, codecs, and constraints, it’s all here:👉 https://t.co/H0SWthq5Up

@firefox The issue's 8 year long history can be read at https://t.co/mVVcJ20rrm

Changelog @ https://t.co/cMhgq4wSCa

[Pipe @piperecorder]

Our main recording client just got faster at playback⚡

After recording, playback now happens directly from a local in-memory blob. No more HTTPS fetches from the server.

Faster and smoother playback, seeks especially on slow or unstable connections (like mobile connections).

It also primes your user's camera & microphone permissions so that they're ready to go when they reach your actual production getUserMedia app

🎉 Meet webcam-tester.js - our new open-source JS library for testing & priming webcams & mics before your web app.

🚀 Perfect for apps using getUserMedia.

⚠️ Heads up! Our recording platform is having some technical issues right now caused by one of our cloud providers. We’re on it and hope to be back online as soon as possible — thanks for bearing with us! 🎧

Our webcam resolution tester tool is available at https://t.co/10P8awzI2v

[Pipe @piperecorder]

It seems iPhone 17’s front camera landscape-resolution support (while the device is held in portrait) doesn’t extend to getUserMedia video resolutions in Safari. Using our resolution tester + @browserstack, the device only returned portrait resolutions.
