Struct Format 

pub struct Format {
    pub name: &'static str,
    pub long_name: &'static str,
    pub extensions: &'static [&'static str],
    pub demuxer: Option<DemuxerFactory>,
    pub muxer: Option<MuxerFactory>,
    pub muxer_path: Option<PathMuxerFactory>,
    pub probe: Option<ProbeFn>,
    pub mux_caps: MuxCaps,
}

Static description of a container format and its read/write support.

Fields

name: &'static str

Short name (avi, mp4, …), as used by ffmpeg -f <name>.

long_name: &'static str

extensions: &'static [&'static str]

File extensions that imply this format (without the dot).

demuxer: Option<DemuxerFactory>

Present if this format can be demuxed (read).

muxer: Option<MuxerFactory>

Present if this format can be muxed (written).

muxer_path: Option<PathMuxerFactory>

Present for formats that mux into a path (playlist + segment files) rather than one byte sink — HLS, DASH. Mutually exclusive with muxer.

probe: Option<ProbeFn>

Content sniffer for magic-byte detection (independent of the filename).

mux_caps: MuxCaps

What this format’s muxer accepts. MuxCaps::NONE for demux-only formats. Keep it in step with the muxer — tests/mux_caps.rs gates it.
