Quick Start

The fastest way to see Mediaway work is the mux/demux roundtrip: register tracks, push packets, pull bytes out as fragmented MP4, then demux the same bytes back. It’s pure Rust — no OS codec, no unsafe, runs on every platform.

cargo run --example mux_roundtrip

Expected output looks like:

mux_roundtrip: 90 frames → NNNN bytes of fMP4
mux_roundtrip: demuxer sees 2 stream(s)
  stream 0 — H264 1920×1080
  stream 1 — Aac (no geometry)
mux_roundtrip: recovered 90 video + 90 audio packets
mux_roundtrip: OK

Next steps

• Want to actually encode video (not just mux pre-made bytes)? See Encode to MP4.
• Want to capture the screen and encode it live? See Screen Recording.
• Want to edit — trim and splice clips using the low-level decoder/encoder traits directly? See Decode, Trim & Splice.
• Need the exact platform/codec support matrix? See Codec Support.
