I'm kind of stunned we haven't gotten something better / more rust based than ffmpeg?
Especially curious given the advent of apple metal etc.
Does anyone have recommendations?
- adamnemecek 2y agoWhy? It's a Herculean effort. It took it was 28 years between the creation of C and FFMPEG, so if there still is not a replacement by 2038, then your complaint is justified.
- mvdtnz 2y ago"Rust based" is not a feature. End users DO NOT CARE. What's your value prop?
- filleduchaos 2y agoGstreamer is increasingly developed in Rust, and is a far saner, better documented and more flexible framework for developers than libav/ffmpeg. The pipeline/plugin based architecture is pretty neat even as an end user, I find it a lot more discoverable.
- lukaslalinsky 2y agoGstreamer is a high level API that uses FFmpeg, not a FFmpeg replacement.
- filleduchaos 2y agoThis is just blatantly wrong, as anyone that has actually looked at the project's documentation and code can tell. Because GStreamer is designed to be modular and plugin-based, all sorts of plugins exist for it (including libav plugins) but it is itself a media framework that is quite capable of replacing ffmpeg. Neither is "higher level" than the other.
