avio 0.14.2

Safe, high-level audio/video/image processing for Rust — backend-agnostic multimedia toolkit
Documentation
//! Decode video with an explicit frame pool to bound memory allocation.
//!
//! Demonstrates:
//! - `VecPool::new(capacity)` — create a pool that retains up to N buffers
//! - `VecPool::capacity()` — the configured pool size
//! - `VecPool::available()` — buffers currently held in the pool
//! - `FramePool` — the shared trait implemented by all pool types
//! - `VideoDecoderBuilder::frame_pool()` — attach the pool to the decoder
//!
//! Without a pool, each decoded frame allocates fresh memory.
//! With a pool, the decoder reuses buffers that have been dropped by the caller,
//! capping peak heap usage to roughly `capacity × frame_size`.
//!
//! # Usage
//!
//! ```bash
//! cargo run --example frame_pool_usage --features decode -- \
//!   --input      input.mp4  \
//!   [--pool-size 8]         # number of frame buffers to retain (default: 8)
//! ```
