h264_decoder.rs

//! # H.264 (AVC) Video Decoder
//!
//! Pure Rust implementation of the H.264/AVC baseline, main, and high profile decoder.
//!
//! ## Supported features
//! - I-slices (intra prediction, all 4x4 and 16x16 modes)
//! - P-slices (inter prediction, motion compensation, multiple reference frames)
//! - B-slices (bidirectional prediction, direct mode)
//! - CAVLC entropy coding
//! - Deblocking filter (loop filter)
//! - Multiple reference frame buffer
//! - YUV420, YUV422, YUV444, and monochrome to RGB8 conversion (BT.601, SIMD-accelerated)
//! - Interlaced (MBAFF/PAFF) coding with field-pair deinterlacing
//! - FMO (Flexible Macroblock Ordering) — slice group map types 0–6
//! - High 4:2:2 (profile_idc=122) and High 4:4:4 Predictive (profile_idc=244) profiles
//!
//! ## Not supported
//! - CABAC entropy coding (High profile)
//! - Weighted prediction (explicit mode)
//! - ASO (Arbitrary Slice Ordering)
//! - SI/SP slices
//!
//! ## Error handling
//! Malformed bitstreams return `VideoError` instead of panicking.
//! However, this decoder has not been fuzz-tested and may not handle
//! all adversarial inputs gracefully. For production video pipelines
//! with untrusted input, consider FFI to libavcodec.
