oximedia-transcode

High-level transcoding pipeline for OxiMedia with professional features and industry-standard presets.

Part of the oximedia workspace — a comprehensive pure-Rust media processing framework.

Version: 0.1.1 — 2026-03-10

Features

Simple One-Liner API - Quick transcoding with sensible defaults
Industry-Standard Presets - YouTube, Vimeo, broadcast, streaming, and more
Multi-Pass Encoding - 2-pass and 3-pass encoding for optimal quality
ABR Ladder Generation - Adaptive bitrate encoding for HLS/DASH
Parallel Encoding - Encode multiple outputs simultaneously
Progress Tracking - Real-time progress with ETA estimation
Audio Normalization - Automatic loudness normalization (EBU R128/ATSC A/85)
Quality Control - CRF, CBR, VBR, and constrained VBR modes
Hardware Acceleration - Auto-detection and use of GPU encoders
Filter Chains - Video and audio filter pipelines
Codec Optimization - Codec-specific configurations (H.264, VP9, AV1, Opus)
Job Management - Queue, schedule, and prioritize transcode jobs
Subtitle Burn-in - Burn subtitles into video or embed as separate stream
Scene Cut Detection - Detect scene boundaries for optimal segmentation
Rate-Distortion Analysis - Optimal encoding parameter selection
Segment Encoding - Encode media in independent segments
AB Comparison - Compare two encoded outputs for quality assessment
Watermark Overlay - Embed graphics or text during transcoding
Concat Transcode - Join multiple media sources during transcode

Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
oximedia-transcode = "0.1.1"

use oximedia_transcode::{Transcoder, presets};

// Simple transcode to YouTube 1080p
Transcoder::new()
    .input("input.mp4")
    .output("output.mp4")
    .preset(presets::youtube::youtube_1080p())
    .transcode()
    .await?;

use oximedia_transcode::{TranscodePipeline, MultiPassMode, QualityMode};

// Create HLS ABR ladder with multiple qualities
TranscodePipeline::builder()
    .input("source.mp4")
    .abr_ladder(presets::streaming::hls_ladder())
    .audio_normalize(true)
    .quality(QualityMode::High)
    .parallel_encode(true)
    .multipass(MultiPassMode::TwoPass)
    .progress(|p| {
        println!("Progress: {}% - ETA: {:?}", p.percent, p.eta);
    })
    .execute()
    .await?;

API Overview

Transcoder — Simple fluent API: input(), output(), preset(), video_codec(), audio_codec(), multi_pass(), quality(), transcode()
TranscodeConfig — Configuration: input, output, codecs, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, subtitle/chapter modes
TranscodeOutput — Result: output path, file size, duration, bitrates, encoding time, speed factor
TranscodePipeline — Complex pipeline builder with ABR, normalization, parallel encoding
AbrLadder / AbrRung / AbrStrategy — Adaptive bitrate ladder construction
MultiPassMode / MultiPassEncoder — Two-pass and three-pass encoding
QualityMode / QualityPreset / RateControlMode — Quality and rate control
HwAccelType / HwEncoder / HwAccelConfig — Hardware acceleration management
AudioNormalizer / LoudnessStandard / LoudnessTarget — Audio loudness normalization
ParallelEncoder / ParallelConfig — Concurrent multi-output encoding
JobQueue / TranscodeJob / JobPriority / TranscodeStatus — Job management
ProgressInfo / ProgressCallback / ProgressTracker — Real-time progress
PresetConfig — Preset container for video/audio codec, bitrate, resolution, frame rate
CodecConfig / H264Config / Vp9Config / Av1Config / OpusConfig — Codec-specific settings
AudioFilter / VideoFilter / FilterNode — Filter chain nodes
SubtitleMode / ChapterMode — Subtitle and chapter handling
TranscodeError / Result — Error and result types
