Show HN: OxiMedia – Pure Rust Reconstruction of FFmpeg and OpenCV
kitasan Sunday, March 08, 2026
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 default features, native WASM target.
This is v0.1.0 -- APIs are stabilized but not yet battle-tested at scale. Performance benchmarks vs FFmpeg/rav1e/dav1d coming soon.
Feedback on API design welcome, especially the filter graph and transcoding pipeline.
