OxiMedia – Pure Rust Reconstruction of FFmpeg and OpenCV

In plain words

OxiMedia is a Rust-based reconstruction of FFmpeg and OpenCV, offering media processing and computer vision capabilities without C dependencies in its default build. It supports patent-free codecs including AV1, VP9, Opus, and FLAC, uses async Tokio throughout, and forbids unsafe code workspace-wide. The project includes 92 crates totaling approximately 1.36 million lines and provides native WebAssembly support. At version 0.1.0, the APIs are stabilized but not yet extensively production-tested at scale.

OxiMedia is the Sovereign Media Framework - A patent-free, memory-safe multimedia processing library written in pure Rust. Pure Rust reconstruction of both FFmpeg (multimedia processing) and OpenCV (computer vision) — unified in a single cohesive framework. - cool-japan/oximedia

In the maker’s words, at launch

Author here. OxiMedia is a clean-room reconstruction of FFmpeg and OpenCV in pure Rust. v0.1.0, 92 crates, ~1.36M lines. Key decisions: `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` workspace-wide, patent-free codecs only (AV1/VP9/Opus/FLAC -- no H.264/H.265/AAC ever), async on Tokio, zero C/Fortran deps in…

  Typed-FFmpeg 3.0–Typed Interface to FFmpeg and Visual Filter Editor2025 · github.com · ▲342

  Hi HN, I built typed-ffmpeg, a Python package that lets you build FFmpeg filter graphs with full type safety, autocomplete, and validation. It’s inspired by ffmpeg-python, but addresses some long-standing issues like lack of IDE support and fragile CLI strings. What’s New in v3.0: • Source filter support (e.g. color, testsrc, etc.) • Input stream selection (e.g. [0:a], [1:v]) • A new interactive playground where you can: • Build filter graphs visually • Generate both FFmpeg CLI and typed Python code • Paste existing FFmpeg commands and reverse-parse them into graphs Playground link:…

  VidStudio, a browser based video editor that doesn't upload your filesApr 2026 · vidstudio.app · ▲301

  Hi HN, I built VidStudio, a privacy focused video editor that runs in the browser. I tried to keep it as frictionless as possible, so there are no accounts and no uploads. Everything is persisted on your machine. Some of the features: multi-track timeline, frame accurate seek, MP4 export, audio, video, image, and text tracks, and a WebGL backed canvas where available. It also works on mobile. Under the hood, WebCodecs handles frame decode for timeline playback and scrubbing, which is what makes seeking responsive since decode runs on the hardware decoder when the browser supports it. FFmpeg…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
