JSVLC is a shot in the dark attempt to port the open-source media player VLC to Javascript.
VLC.js is a more detailed article about this project.
The motivation for this is not unlike the motivations for creating the Javascript MESS project: increased portable access to a variety of media - in this case, audio and video, including older formats, DVDs, CD-ROMs, and other files that reside on locations like the Internet Archive, retuning all of these large files into streamable media.
It'll work, or it won't.
Initial horrified attempts to overview this project are happening at #vlcjs on EFnet.
