How do youtube include ascii videos?

Just a little wave, it seems that the video stream is not ascii. I tested thread loading. It would be crazy if that were so. There are so many videos. So it can’t be. Youtube doesn't seem to work with javascript disabled (not counting mobile if true).

How it's done? Is this javascript magic? Does SWF launch video through a filter in real time? (I doubt this is a proprietary filter since the filter is compiled), this is really great. I can’t imagine how it works in real time, but it is!

MPlayer uses AALib for this type of effect. YouTube probably ported it to ActionScript.
