The question stands with LGPL or GPL. Can I use a browser-based version of 
ffmpeg without having to release my whole project as open-source?

Maybe I am not understanding this correctly, but I would need to include 
libx264 in the distribution to encode videos to that format right? And doing so 
would apply the GPL to the entirety of ffmpeg (which might apply the GPL to my 
whole project). Am I right in thinking this?

So you do not have a license problem with FFmpeg but 
with x264 or do I misunderstand?
