Processing Capabilities

Real Processing (Not Mocks)

✓ Video metadata reading from HTML5 video API
✓ Audio buffer decoding using Web Audio API
✓ Waveform resampling with OfflineAudioContext
✓ WAV file generation from AudioBuffer
✓ File format conversion logic
✓ Timestamp formatting for multiple subtitle formats
✓ Bitrate calculation from file size

Simulated Processing (Backend Ready)

Subtitle transcription (uses mock data, ready for backend integration)
Audio track detection (mock 3 tracks, ready for actual analysis)
Video download (UI ready, needs backend FFmpeg integration)

Deployment Path

All 5 components are ready for deployment to the server:

Target: 87.106.103.185
Path: /home/websites1/webtools/src/app/components/tools/

Deployment Steps:

Transfer components via SCP
Create route pages in Next.js
Rebuild Next.js application
Verify functionality

Quality Assurance
