Runtime support

@remotion/media-parser works in the Browser, Node.js and Bun.

However, all of these require some quite modern versions (considered modern as of August 2024).

For parsing​

For parsing a video, the following minimum versions are required:

  • Node.js: 20.0.0
  • Bun 1.0.0
  • Chrome 111
  • Edge 111
  • Safari 16.4
  • Firefox 128

Feature detection​

Use this to check if the runtime supports parseMedia():

tsx
const canUseMediaParser = typeof fetch === 'function' && typeof new ArrayBuffer().resize === 'function';
tsx
const canUseMediaParser = typeof fetch === 'function' && typeof new ArrayBuffer().resize === 'function';

For using WebCodecs​

WebCodecs support is not tied to @remotion/media-parser itself, but if you use it to extract samples, you need to use the following minimum versions:

  • Chrome 94
  • Edge 94
  • Safari 16.4 - No support for AudioDecoder
  • Firefox - No support, but in development
