# mp4rs > MP4 Reader and Writer in Rust 🦀 `mp4rs` is a Rust library to read and write ISO-MP4 files. This package contains MPEG-4 specifications defined in parts: * [ISO/IEC 14496-12](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14) - ISO Base Media File Format (QuickTime, MPEG-4, etc) * [ISO/IEC 14496-14](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14) - MP4 file format * ISO/IEC 14496-17 - Streaming text format https://crates.io/crates/mp4 [![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/mp4)](https://crates.io/crates/mp4) [![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/d/mp4)](https://crates.io/crates/mp4) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/alfg/mp4rs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/alfg/mp4rs) [![Rust](https://github.com/alfg/mp4rs/workflows/Rust/badge.svg)](https://github.com/alfg/mp4rs/actions) #### Example ```rust use std::fs::File; use std::io::{BufReader}; use mp4::{Result}; fn main() -> Result<()> { let f = File::open("example.mp4").unwrap(); let size = f.metadata()?.len(); let reader = BufReader::new(f); let mp4 = mp4::Mp4Reader::read_header(reader, size)?; // Print boxes. println!("major brand: {}", mp4.ftyp.major_brand); println!("timescale: {}", mp4.moov.mvhd.timescale); // Use available methods. println!("size: {}", mp4.size()); let mut compatible_brands = String::new(); for brand in mp4.compatible_brands().iter() { compatible_brands.push_str(&brand.to_string()); compatible_brands.push_str(","); } println!("compatible brands: {}", compatible_brands); println!("duration: {:?}", mp4.duration()); // Track info. for track in mp4.tracks().iter() { println!( "track: #{}({}) {} : {}", track.track_id(), track.language(), track.track_type()?, track.box_type()?, ); } Ok(()) } ``` See [examples/](examples/) for more examples. #### Install Add to your `Cargo.toml`: ``` mp4 = "0.6.0" ``` #### Documentation * https://docs.rs/mp4/ ## Development #### Requirements * [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) #### Build ``` cargo build ``` #### Run Examples * `mp4info` ``` cargo run --example mp4info ``` * `mp4dump` ``` cargo run --example mp4dump ``` #### Run Tests ``` cargo test ``` With print statement output. ``` cargo test -- --nocapture ``` #### Run Benchmark Tests ``` cargo bench ``` View HTML report at `target/criterion/report/index.html` ## Web Assembly See the [mp4-inspector](https://github.com/alfg/mp4-inspector) project as a reference for using this library in Javascript via Web Assembly. ## Related Projects * https://github.com/mozilla/mp4parse-rust * https://github.com/pcwalton/rust-media * https://github.com/alfg/mp4 ## License MIT
