I'm guessing the ffmpeg team is in Europe? Better to wait when America is on April Fool's Day before pulling retarded shit like this.

It's not fucking funny when you know for a fact their software is garbage full of vulns.

They've been triggering troons for a while now, yet the RIIRtards haven't been able to tackle ffmpeg

>>108496886
Didn't a rewrite in rust of the C bindings end up with a 10% regression in performance, without even touching the assembly code? ffmpeg will be assembly+C only for the rest of the eternity.

I just remember them absolutely SEETHING about the amount of hand rolled assembly. I also think it'll stay that way until we have excellent AI tools which can translate from spec to code (skipping the entire rust meme).

2022 was fun on every board except /g/. All you had to do was not cheat. You /g/tards cheated yourself out of the fun.

>>108496572
the funniest thing about this is how rust manages to trigger a jeet even when he is actually not retarded, and not really from jeetland.
it's as if rust triggering jeets almost works at the genetic level.

>>108497493
Pretty sure ffmpeg is frogs, not jeets.

What the actual fck is going on with FFmpeg? They’re transitioning to Rust, of all languages. Rust! The absolute state of this fcking industry. We used to have a perfectly good C-based project, lean, fast, reliable—hell, that's why we loved it.

But now, suddenly, it's being hijacked by a bunch of Rust-obsessed fanboys who think every damn project has to be rewritten in this bloated garbage heap of a language. Yeah, sure, Rust is "safe" and all that, but who the fck asked for that in a tool like FFmpeg? It's a command-line video processing tool, not a fcking safety net for a daycare. We need performance, not a bunch of shiny memory safety nonsense that just makes everything slower and harder to maintain.

I can’t believe I’ve spent years working with this, learning all the ins and outs of C and ffmpeg’s API just for it to be thrown away for Rust? This is literally the opposite of what FFmpeg was about. It was lean, mean, and efficient. It wasn’t about wrapping everything in a bunch of unnecessary abstractions and "safety" that just slows the whole f*cking thing down.

And don’t get me started on the people behind this decision. Is it some group of Rust fanboys that can’t get their heads out of their asses long enough to see what’s actually important? The FFmpeg community is literally going to lose their minds over this. I’m not even going to start thinking about how this is going to f*ck with existing scripts and workflows.

This is the end of FFmpeg as we know it. F*ck this, I’m sticking with my old, stable build. Rust can burn for all I care. Long live C, and RIP FFmpeg.

if you set the align parameter of av_image_get_buffer_size to 1 it will produce a corrupted image with random memory contents until it hits an illegal address and crashes, it can be used to exfil data I guess but nobody uses that value.

cniles
>>
>>108499475
it is the optimizations causing the problem, the correct value is determined by av_cpu_max_align() but before that was implemented there were many helper functions now deprecated with hardcoded values.
>>
>>108496601
shouldn't be

>10 times slower
low level rust is basically like C. though if you write it like that, there is little point in using rust

It's April Fools day in UTC and that's the only timezone that matters.
