Third-party components
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The GPU hardware video paths (NVIDIA NVENC/NVDEC, AMD AMF, Intel QSV/oneVPL)
are implemented as **hand-rolled FFI in this repository** (under
crates/codec/src/{encode,decode}/), declared against the respective vendor SDK
headers (NVIDIA Video Codec SDK, AMD AMF SDK, Intel oneVPL) and loading the
vendor runtime libraries dynamically at runtime via dlopen. The underlying
vendor SDKs are proprietary and are not redistributed with this software. No
third-party GPU wrapper crates are used.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This software also uses a number of additional open-source Rust crates from
the broader ecosystem, distributed under permissive licenses (predominantly
MIT and/or Apache-2.0; some BSD/ISC). A full machine-readable inventory of
the dependency tree and its licenses can be produced with `cargo metadata`
or `cargo about`. Notable ones include: tokio, anyhow, thiserror, tracing,
bytes, clap, mp4, matroska-demuxer, libloading, tempfile (MIT/Apache-2.0);
minimp3 (MIT), lewton (MIT/Apache-2.0), audiopus (ISC, binding to libopus
under the BSD license), rubato (MIT); and, when the `ffmpeg` feature is
enabled, ffmpeg-next (binding to FFmpeg, which is LGPL-2.1+/GPL-2+ — review
its obligations before distributing an `ffmpeg`-enabled build).
