craft-media
Media containers and bit-level I/O for the Craft apps: an MSB-first bit reader and writer, and
clean-room ISO BMFF (MP4), QuickTime (MOV) and Matroska (MKV, WebM) demuxers and muxers written
from the public specifications. No unsafe, no panics on malformed input, and it builds for
wasm32-unknown-unknown. The only dependency is thiserror (for isobmff).

default = ["isobmff"], so bitstream and isobmff build. matroska is opt-in: it is about as
much code as isobmff, and most users of MP4/MOV (LightCraft, FigCraft, SoundCraft, EffectCraft)
do not read Matroska. The features are independent; matroska does not need the other two.
craft-media = { git = "https://github.com/storytold/craft-libs", rev = "<commit>", features = ["matroska"] }
A crate that needs only bit I/O (a codec) uses:
craft-media = { git = "https://github.com/storytold/craft-libs", rev = "<commit>", default-features = false, features = ["bitstream"] }
Boundaries
- In scope: bit-level reading and writing, and container demuxing and muxing (boxes, sample tables, sample entries and codec configuration records).
- Out of scope for now: codecs (H.264, HEVC, ProRes, AAC and others). They stay in the apps. Ogg and other containers can join later as their own features.
Origin and API
The code comes from FilmCraft's filmcraft-bitstream, filmcraft-isobmff and
filmcraft-matroska crates at
storytold/filmcraft@6c3948a.
Public items keep their names and signatures, so FilmCraft can turn all three crates into
re-exports (pub use craft_media::isobmff::*;), except for the renames below. Our own names use
US spelling; names taken from a specification keep its spelling.
Renamed:
| FilmCraft | craft-media |
|---|---|
matroska::Colour |
matroska::Color |
matroska::VideoInfo::colour |
matroska::VideoInfo::color |
matroska::VideoInfo::colour_space |
matroska::VideoInfo::color_space |
The element IDs element_ids::COLOUR and COLOUR_SPACE and the field
isobmff::VpcConfig::colour_primaries keep the spellings of the Matroska and VP9 specifications.
Output that differs on valid input:
- Matroska lacing applies only to tracks with a
DefaultDuration, and a lace ends at a timestamp gap. Readers space the frames of a lace byDefaultDuration, so FilmCraft's laces moved frames that followed a gap. - The sample budget covers the whole file, so a multi-track file with more than 2²⁶ samples in
total fails with
TooLarge(ISO BMFF: all tracks and fragments; Matroska: all tracks, and at most 2¹⁶ TrackEntries). FilmCraft capped ISO BMFF per track and Matroska not at all. - MOV and MP4 PCM chunks end at 1 MiB, as ffmpeg writes them; FilmCraft wrote each contiguous run of one track as one chunk. The reader splits a PCM chunk above 16 MiB into samples of at most 16 MiB; FilmCraft made it one sample, cut at 4 GiB.
- MOV PCM at 65,536 Hz and above, and unsigned 16-bit PCM, is written as
lpcm(sound description v2), and signed 8-bit PCM astwos. FilmCraft wrote 0 Hz for the former and labeled the signedness wrongly for the latter two.rawunder a sound handler reads as PCM. - Matroska
BlockDurationis rounded to the nearest tick; FilmCraft truncated it. - A Matroska
TimestampScaleabove 2³² is ignored, like a zero scale. matroska::MkvWriterwritesMuxingApp=craft-media, andMuxOptions::default()haswriting_app=craft-media(FilmCraft:filmcraft-matroskaandfilmcraft). Apps setwriting_appto their own name.
Other differences:

FilmCraft accepted any entry.isobmff::Mp4Writer::write_samplereturns an error when a track would pass 2³² − 1 samples (PCM: frames), the moststszcan count; FilmCraft clamped the count.matroska::ByteSourcestays a separate trait fromisobmff::ByteSource, with the same shape. FilmCraft implements both for one type, which a single shared trait would reject as conflicting impls.
bitstream
BitReader: MSB-first reader with Exp-Golomb (ue(v),se(v),te(v)), as used by H.264/HEVC/AV1 headers.BitWriter: the matching writer, for encoders and header rewriting.unescape_rbsp/escape_rbsp: remove or insert H.264/HEVC emulation-prevention bytes.annexb_nals/length_prefixed_nals: split Annex-B byte streams and AVCC/HVCC samples into NAL units.crc32: CRC-32 (IEEE), as used by Matroska and PNG.

This matches ffprobe's timestamps for the common cases (B-frame delay, AAC priming, empty-edit offsets). Multi-segment edits, dwells and rate changes are exposed raw for the caller to interpret. - Uncompressed PCM (
lpcm,sowt,twos,in24,in32,fl32,fl64,raw,ipcm,fpcm) is merged to oneSampleper chunk (pcm_chunked = true), withdurationin frames. This avoids one table entry per audio frame. A chunk above 16 MiB becomes several samples of at most 16 MiB.
Parsed boxes
ftyp, moov/mvhd, trak/tkhd, edts/elst (v0/v1), tref, mdia/mdhd (v0/v1, ISO and Mac language
codes), hdlr (ISO and Pascal names), minf/stbl: stsd, stts, ctts (v0/v1, read as signed), stss,
stsc, stsz/stz2 (4/8/16-bit), stco/co64, sdtp, sbgp/sgpd. Also mvex/trex, moof/traf/tfhd/tfdt/trun
(every tfhd base-offset mode and multiple moofs), and udta metadata (QuickTime ©xxx atoms,
meta/ilst, and meta/keys (mdta)). uuid, free, skip, wide, sidx and mfra are skipped.
Boxes with 64-bit sizes and with size 0 (runs to the end of the file) are supported.

Video entries also parse colr (nclx/nclc/ICC), pasp, clap, fiel, gama and btrt into
VideoParams. Audio entries parse QuickTime sound description v0/v1/v2 into AudioParams.
Robustness
The parser does not panic on malformed input; every error comes back as an Error. Table counts are
checked against the bytes in their box before anything is allocated. A constant-size stsz count is
clamped to what fits in the file. trun counts are checked, and the whole file (all tracks and
fragments) is capped at 2²⁶ samples.
moov/moof are capped at 1 GiB. Compressed movie headers (cmov) are rejected with
Error::Unsupported.

Box reader
isobmff::boxes gives direct access to the box format, for files and boxes the demuxer does not
model: CR3 uuid boxes, HEIF meta items, JPEG 2000 (JP2, JPX, JPM, MJ2) boxes.
use craft_media::isobmff::boxes::{BoxIter, Reader};
for b in BoxIter::new(&bytes) {
let b = b?;
if b.kind == b"uuid" && b.user_type == Some(CANON_UUID) {
for c in BoxIter::within(&bytes, b.payload_range()) { /* CMT1..CMT4, THMB */ }
}
}
BoxIter::new(data)yields the sibling boxes indata;BoxIter::within(data, range)yields those indata[range]with offsets relative todata, so a walker keeps file offsets as it descends. EachBoxRefhaskind,user_type(the 16-byte extended type of auuidbox),offset,header_len,payload,payload_range(),range()andend().- 64-bit
largesizeand size 0 (runs to the end of the range) are handled. A malformed header or a box larger than the range yields oneErrand ends the iteration;allow_truncated()instead yields that last box cut at the end of the range, withtruncatedset. A 32-bit zero terminator (QuickTime) ends the iteration. BoxHeader::parse(buf)reads one header (up toBoxHeader::MAX_LEN= 32 bytes), for scanning a file throughByteSourcewithout loading it.Readeris the bounds-checked big-endian cursor the demuxer uses:u8tou64,i16toi64,f64,u24,fourcc,full_header(version and flags),bytes,skip,restandcount(an entry count checked against the bytes left, before allocating).- The iterator does not recurse. The caller bounds nesting depth and box count.
Limitations
presentation time = pts + edit_offsetonly applies the leading empty edits and the first media edit. Multi-segment edit lists, dwell edits and non-unity rates are exposed raw. ffmpeg handles an edit that starts mid-frame differently: it snaps to the frame.- Other data references (external
alis/urlfiles), encrypted entries (encv/enca,sinf,senc),cmov, and QuickTime reference movies are not supported. sidx/mfraare ignored, because the demuxer scans every top-level box.stsdentries with a QuickTime color table are not decoded.- Subtitle and text tracks (
tx3g,c608,wvtt) andmp4vshow up asUnknown. - Muxer: one
mdat, no chunk-size or duration limits outside PCM (the caller controls interleaving), nosdtp,sgpd/sbgporcslgoutput, ISO-stylemeta/ilstmetadata is not written, and the fragmented writer has no PCM,sidxormfra.
matroska
A clean-room Matroska (MKV) and WebM demuxer, plus a minimal muxer, written from RFC 8794 (EBML), RFC 9559 (Matroska), the Matroska codec mappings and the WebM container guidelines. No GPL or LGPL code (FFmpeg, libmatroska, mkvtoolnix) was consulted; FFmpeg is a test oracle only.
Demuxing

}
- Open (
open,open_with(src, &OpenOptions { index, verify_crc })): EBML header (DocTypematroskaorwebm), the first Segment, and its level-1 elements: SeekHead (followed for elements after the clusters), Info, Tracks, Cues, Chapters, Tags, Attachments (listed with offset and size; payloads are not read). Withindex: true(the default) every Cluster is scanned, element and block headers only, to build per-trackSampletables (offset,size,pts,duration,keyframe, cluster, block offset, lace index,BlockAdditionallocation) and keyframe lists. Withindex: false,openstops at the first Cluster. - Timestamps: Matroska ticks are
TimestampScalens (usually 1 ms);Track::timebaseis that as a reduced fraction of a second.ptsis in ticks,pts_nsin exact nanoseconds.CodecDelayis subtracted (RFC 9559), as FFmpeg does, so Opus and Vorbis priming gives negative pts. Laced frames getblock ts + i × (BlockDuration or DefaultDuration) / n; when neither is known, later laces repeat the block timestamp and haveduration == 0(Packet::lacetells which). - Keyframes: the SimpleBlock keyframe flag; a BlockGroup is a keyframe when it has no ReferenceBlock.
- Lacing: Xiph, fixed-size and EBML. Unknown sizes: a Segment (live or streamed output) and
Clusters end at the next top-level element. CRC-32: optional verification of level-1
elements and clusters; mismatches go to
MkvFile::crc_errorsand are not fatal. - Damage: an undecodable or oversized element starts a byte scan for the next plausible level-1
element (a Cluster whose first child is Timestamp, or a sized metadata element); a truncated final
block is dropped. Problems are listed in
MkvFile::warnings. - Limits: indexing stops with
Error::TooLargepast 2²⁶ frames in the file, past one frame per file byte (each frame counts its stored size, and at least one byte), or past 2¹⁶ TrackEntries. Level-1 elements read at most the file's length in all, so SeekHead entries that point into one another are skipped with a warning. - Seeking (
Demuxer::seek(track, time_ns)): uses the sample index when present, otherwise Cues (refined by scanning the cued cluster for the exact keyframe), otherwise builds the index by scanning all clusters.Demuxer::keyframe_index(track)returns the keyframe list. - Block additions:
MkvFile::read_sample_additionreturns theBlockAdditionalwithBlockAddID1 of an unlaced block (in WebM, the VP8/VP9 alpha layer). - Tracks: number, UID, type, flags,
DefaultDuration, name, language (and BCP 47), CodecID, CodecPrivate, CodecName,CodecDelay,SeekPreRoll;VideoInfo(pixel and display size, crop, interlacing, stereo, alpha mode,pixel_aspect(),display_rotation()),Color(matrix, range, transfer, primaries, subsampling and siting, MaxCLL/MaxFALL, SMPTE 2086 mastering metadata);AudioInfo(rate, output rate, channels, bit depth);ContentEncodings. - Content encodings: header stripping is undone in every packet and in
read_sample. zlib, bzlib and lzo compression and encryption are reported (Track::frames_readable() == false); packets are then returned as stored andread_samplefails withUnsupported. matroska::ebml(public) has the EBML primitives: variable-length integers, element headers, typed values, CRC-32 and lacing.matroska::element_idslists the element IDs.

Muxing
MkvWriter::new(w: Write + Seek, Vec<TrackSpec>, MuxOptions), then write_frame(track, pts_ns, keyframe, data, duration_ns) per frame, then finish(). It writes the EBML header, Segment,
SeekHead, Info (with Duration), Tracks, Clusters of SimpleBlocks (a new cluster at a video keyframe
after cluster_duration_ns), BlockGroups for frames whose duration differs from the track's
default_duration_ns, optional audio lacing (Xiph, EBML, fixed-size; for tracks with a
default_duration_ns, at most 256 frames, ending at a timestamp gap), and Cues (video keyframes,
or the first frame of each track per cluster). MuxOptions::doc_type = "webm" writes WebM.
CodecPrivate is fixed when the writer is created, so a codec whose configuration arrives with the
first frame (AV1 from rav1e) creates the writer after that frame.
Limitations
- Only the first Segment is read (no linked or chained segments, no ordered-chapter playback).
- zlib, bzlib and lzo compressed and encrypted tracks are detected, but their frames are not
decoded.
EncryptedBlockis ignored. TrackTimestampScale(deprecated) is ignored.- Lace timestamps without any duration information repeat the block timestamp (FFmpeg derives them from codec parsers).
- Muxer: no CRC-32, Chapters, Tags, Attachments, content encodings or block additions.
Tests
- Unit tests cover the bit reader and writer, the box reader (64-bit, size-0,
uuid, truncated and hostile sizes), hand-builtstbledge cases, codec configuration round trips and allocation guards. For Matroska: EBML integers, typed values, CRC-32, every lacing mode, codec mapping, a hand-built file (unknown-size Segment and Clusters, header stripping, BlockGroups, block additions, color and mastering metadata, Chapters, Tags, Attachments, CRC-32, Cue-less seek, hostile cluster timestamps) and mux-demux round trips. tests/roundtrip.rs: property tests that write random multi-track files (progressive and fragmented) and read them back.tests/oracle_demux.rsandtests/oracle_mux.rscompare the demuxer and muxer with ffprobe and ffmpeg on generated fixtures intarget/fixtures/isobmff/($CRAFT_MEDIA_FIXTURES_DIRoverrides it). Fixtures are never committed.tests/oracle_matroska.rscompares every packet (stream, size, keyframe flag, pts, duration), codec names, time bases, dimensions and audio parameters with ffprobe on fixtures intarget/fixtures/matroska/: H.264+AAC, VP9+Opus WebM, FLAC, Vorbis, SRT+ASS, WebVTT WebM, Cues at the front, a streamed file without Cues, HEVC with HDR color, ProRes+PCM, MJPEG+AC-3, AV1. Seeks must land on the latest keyframe at or before the target. The muxer's laced output is read back by ffprobe. A damaged file must resync.tests/fuzz.rsandtests/fuzz_matroska.rs: deterministic mutation fuzzing; nothing may panic.fuzz.rsalso walks every box of a mutated file as a container and checks that each payload range stays inside its parent.
ffmpeg and ffprobe are test oracles only, never linked. They are looked up in
$CRAFT_MEDIA_FFMPEG / $CRAFT_MEDIA_FFPROBE, then PATH, then common install directories. When
a tool is missing, the oracle tests print SKIPPED and pass; CRAFT_MEDIA_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 turns
a skip into a failure. CI (.github/workflows/media.yml) sets it and installs Ubuntu's ffmpeg.
