Top 10 Rust Ffmpeg Projects

Weylus

64 6,367 0.0 Rust

Use your tablet as graphic tablet/touch screen on your computer.

Project mention: Show HN: Another way to use an old tablet as an extra screen | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-06

I've used Weylus [0]. It works over LAN, lets you control the mouse from your tablet. Sometimes it's laggy, but you can configure the resolution so it's not using too much bandwidth. I'm not sure if it's stable at all. Haven't used it on a regular basis.

Av1an

65 1,338 7.3 Rust

Cross-platform command-line AV1 / VP9 / HEVC / H264 encoding framework with per scene quality encoding

Project mention: Guide to Adopting AV1 Encoding | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-03

The hardware encoders are very fast and generally better than x264 (but not by as much as you'd think with the x264 slow preset).
In addition, there are threaded AV1 encoders you may be overlooking, like SVT-AV1. For non-realtime, my favorite is av1an, which also yields better quality than is possible from aomenc: https://github.com/master-of-zen/Av1an

reStream

35 713 6.4 Rust

Stream your reMarkable screen over SSH.

Project mention: The ReMarkable Streaming Tool v2: Elevating Remote Work Efficiency | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-20

If the goal is to share the visual contents of the pad, why not just stream the graphics over SSH?
I recommend checking out reStream: https://github.com/rien/reStream/
dovi_tool

23 540 7.0 Rust

dovi_tool is a CLI tool combining multiple utilities for working with Dolby Vision.

Project mention: Is there a way to confirm that Dolby Vision content transcoded correctly? | /r/handbrake | 2023-06-04

They have Mac builds available for the latest release.
ffplayout

6 418 9.3 Rust

Rust and ffmpeg based playout

Project mention: Self-hosting a simple virtual TV station | /r/selfhosted | 2023-05-03

What a cool project idea! Owncast would be a great solution for you from the broadcasting end, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about it. From the programming/scheduling side you could do something super simple like this project https://github.com/owncast/playout-example that plays from a directory, or build something more custom with ffplayout https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout

needle

3 9 0.0 Rust

A CLI tool that finds a needle (opening/intro and ending/credits) in a haystack (TV or anime episode). (by aksiksi)

Project mention: FFmpeg 7.0 Released | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-04

I used this wrapper to implement an opening and ending detection tool for “fun” [1].
However, it seems that many programs opt to instead shell out to the ffmpeg CLI. I think it’s usually simpler than linking against the library and to avoid licensing issues. But there are some cases where the CLI doesn’t cut it.
