You're not adding the size of the ffmpeg binary itself with that.

My ffmpeg which I compiled as follows (with my own filter)

  --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --enable-libmp3lame

is 21,387,880 bytes

Running with your command reports an additional 18,273,624 bytes

I guess it depends what you compile in.

This is a slightly more correct command I think:

    du -cb $(ldd $(which ffmpeg) | egrep -o "/[^ ]+" | cat <(which ffmpeg) - | xargs readlink -f) | tail -n1

I think this is what the ffmpeg.wasm-core project is compiling in:

https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm-core/blob/n4.3.1-w...

Overall I think the wasm size is pretty good, maybe even smaller than the non-wasm binaries to a first approximation.
