  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

    • The most popular crates on crates.io are actually low-level bindings to ffmpeg or gstreamer. You don't really want to be using these unless you're willing to spend a couple of weeks learning about the internals of Ffmpeg/Gstreamer and then writing the necessary ~500-1000 lines of code to to build a 'user-friendly' interface for actually extracting and manipulating frames.

  • rust-ffmpeg

    Safe FFmpeg wrapper.

    • ffmpeg bindings are fine, forked as `ffmpeg_next`. I use latest ffmpeg 5.1 with them, works totally fine https://github.com/zmwangx/rust-ffmpeg

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • video-rs

    Video readers, writers, muxers, encoders and decoders for Rust based on ffmpeg libraries.

    • I didn't use it myself, but recently stumbled upon video-rs
