Video Codec in 100 lines of Rust
Funnily enough I recently released 0.1.0 of "less-avc" a pure Rust H.264 (AVC) video encoder: https://github.com/strawlab/less-avc/ . For now it only implements a lossless I PCM encoder but supports a few features I need such as high bit depth. If anyone has a codec-writing itch they want to scratch, I would welcome work towards the compression algorithms H.264 supports: context-adaptive variable-length coding (CAVLC) and context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC). Also I'm happy for constructive criticism or questions on this library. I think it is fairly idiomatic, and no `unsafe`, rust. While H.264 is an older codec now, as far as I can tell, this also means any patents on it are about to run out and it is very widely supported.

QOIR: A fast, simple, lossless image file format
> For example, if you have a relatively wimpy camera that streams out a 160×120 grayscale image, it might be fun to see how far you can push something like combining:
I'm typically not one for self-promo but I did this with video and you can get 90% compression with exactly those three basic steps. RGB -> YUV420, delta encoding, then basically-upgraded-RLE. You can find the guide here: https://github.com/kevmo314/codec-from-scratch
