I believe one has already been ported using Emscripten - but this was a while ago, I'd be curious to see how fast it runs now with Asm.js: https://github.com/mbebenita/Broadway

Fairly easily if you start with Broadway: it’s an Emscripten port of Android’s H264 software decoder that writes to a WebGL canvas.

The reverse has been done: WebM has been ported to JavaScript with Emscripten, which means all browsers (IE9+) can play WebM to some degree.

Wasn't Firefox 20 supposed to have H264 support?
