We do have ticket #1483, http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1483,
which could be warped into adding support for ffmpeg. I am also
interested in learning how to use javascript to do it but my
javascript skills are still too low. One of my goals for this year is
to become much better at javascript to help more with the notebook.
I simply don't have the time to work on this right now but I would
like to soon (i.e. in the next 3 months or so). I will assign #1483
to myself in order to keep it on my radar.
