Description

One of the key use cases mentioned in the explainer is
Non-realtime encoding/decoding/transcoding, such as for local file editing

Can we add an example demonstrating basic media editing operations like trim and concatenation ?

We are trying to understand on how to use WebCodecs to achieve the same functionality as MediaBlob to ensure that it meets developer needs.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the explainer’s non-realtime encoding, decoding, and transcoding use case and the linked MediaBlob proposal. Define an example that demonstrates trim and concatenation with WebCodecs, with completion measured by whether developers can understand how to perform both basic editing operations.
