> It provides no additional features compared to FFmpeg, and despite incorporating FFmpeg's assembly code, is significantly slower.

What a fantastic use of tokens. The author isn't even reviewing the code so you can't really even call it a study.

I suppose “review” is misleading, since I’m not actually reading the code, I’m simply asking Claude to explain what the code is doing. I’ll change that so it’s expressly clear that none of this code is actually human-reviewed.

These things may not be true in the future. I just meant to describe the current state of the project. With Rust being a modern language and the repository being AI-optimized, I wouldn't be surprised if it grew to have more features. And I hope that Rust can close the gap on performance, it would be a great testament to Rust's usefulness for high performance software.
