IIRC, there was a project within the VLC team to port a codec to rust (it was shown off at a con talk IIRC). I'm curious what happened to that project.

Also, it looks like the VLC Summer of Code ("SoC") 2020[1] mentions a potential project for fuzzing.

Kostya (long time ffmpeg contributor from e.g. RV40 reverse engineering) moved on to writing a greenfield ffmpeg alternative purely in Rust, with all new codecs, named NihAV.

Follow the blog: https://codecs.multimedia.cx/ but there's no source code release yet AFAIK.

Nice; though the documentation/blog is quite hard to follow :)
