Self contained FFmpeg (sys) bindings.
Does not require or link against any FFmpeg system dependencies, and does not require a network connection for building.
I’m not a lawyer, furthermore I really don’t understand software licenses. * This codebase is MIT. * At compile time, this library builds and statically links against LGPL code. * This is for the purpose of being self contained, without burdening any library consumers with dependency issues.
Hopefully one day the rust ecosystem will get a decent FFmpeg alternative for e.g. container muxing/demuxing.
It would be interesting to experiment with compiling FFmpeg to WebAssembly. Perhaps as an alternative to static linking, if a local version isn’t available it could link to a remote lib over the network.
