rav1d

rav1d is an AV1 cross-platform decoder, open-source, and focused on speed and correctness. It is a Rust port of dav1d.

rav1d is currently experimental. Core functionality has been transpiled using c2rust, but not everything has been ported yet and the transpiled code needs to be cleaned up from unsafe transpiled Rust to safe, idiomatic Rust.

Running Tests

Currently we use the original Meson test suite for testing the Rust port. To setup and run these tests, do the following:

First, build the Rust project using Cargo. You'll need to do this step manually before running any tests because it is not built automatically when tests are run. Note that we build with the --release flag, adjust paths accordingly for debug or cross-target builds.

cargo build --release

Second, create the build dir with meson:

meson setup build

Then you can run the tests with:

.github/workflows/test.sh -r target/release/dav1d

You can learn more about how to build and test in the .github/workflows folder.
