G C Marty: Play DVDs in JavaScript for the sake of interoperability [JSConf2014]

We have everything we need to read DVD-video discs in a browser, so why don't we start? For that purpose, I ported libdvdread and libdvdnav libraries to JavaScript so that we can parse the DVD-video info files and emulate a virtual machine. But this comes with technical challenges such as browsers being bad at manipulating huge files or not supporting the codecs used in DVD (MPEG-2, AC-3...). That's why this port comes with a server in Node.js to circumvent these limitations. The resulting project is a mix of websockets, video elements, media source extensions and a lot of open source love. Get ready for a mind blowing demo! http://2014.jsconf.us
