I don’t really think there’s any actual benefit to `wedeo` existing, beyond the novelty of having pure Rust media processing software and perhaps being easier to use as a library. Like I said, this is mostly an experiment in LLM’s ability to rewrite software in Rust. FFmpeg is one of the most high quality pieces of open source software out there, I seriously doubt that LLMs on their own could eclipse it, even with all of Rust’s benefits. So I definitely understand what you’re saying but it’s not really my motivation.

As for the updating, this is something that I’ve been considering but it’s obviously not in scope until `wedeo` is fully featured. But yes, this is something that LLMs should be able to do quite easily, it could even trigger on every commit.

The benefit is that you and other Rust developers could potentially implement improvements to FFMPEG. Again, if you stick to porting only the top layer of FFMPEG - the media processing framework with the CLI - you can still keep the rest as C and link it all together in a build. Your Rust version (and any improvements implemented by other Rust developers who contribute to wedeo) can easily be converted back to C so that patches could be offered back upstream to the main FFMPEG project.
