Is there a restriction on the size of the file or can it save the contents on the fly to disk like streamsaver?


Currently there is a restriction on size of file because it has to process the video in your memory and isn't saving content on the fly to disk but that is definitely something I can try to add moving forward


Good job on your release, Curious, How is your version different from kagami or videoconverter versions, which were file conversions and they did not have streaming options, even though they had some patches who showed how to do it. Does yours support streaming options so that the streams can be saved to file serially using streamsaver.js.

At 4% it would be "It is better that twenty five guilty persons escape than one innocent suffer."

Trying to land a Rocket — the SpaceX Reusable Rocket Story  https://medium.com/lazy-collections/trying-to-land-a-rocket-...


This also shows several other attempts (and successs): Armadillo in 2010, United Launch Alliance, and Blue Orgin, plus rocket planes much earlier.


What are the good options to convert from Javascript to Java or to other high level languages?


Transpiling from an untyped language to a typed one would give you horrid results in most cases. The practical way would be to use TypeScript to compile your program (JavaScript programs compile fine with TypeScript) and start to manually transform your JavaScript code to add objects and types.

That said, that would be a really cool tool to have...



Is there a similar or alternate platform similar to Quirky?

Looks like Falcon landed fine, but excess lateral velocity caused it to tip over post landing -@elonmusk

Scott Manley did precisely this in KSP the other day, trying to replicate the barge landing:

Admittedly, he also replicated all the other possible failure modes too. Turns out landing on barges is hard.


I wonder how much of the rocket is steel?

Perhaps a barge full of Tesla batteries and electromagnets could grab and hold it as it comes in?


If that's the idea then just land it into a big sunken tube filled with netting.


It's almost entirely aluminum.


That's really fun to watch. Thanks for the link!


Hopefully that means there wasn't too much damage to the barge.


Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival. - @elonmusk
