V0.6.0 · PURE RUST · ZERO FFMPEG
The complete media processing toolkit — encode, transcode, filter, watermark, encrypt, stream, broadcast — all in one memory-safe binary. Auto-detects GPU hardware. 34 commands, 57 codec support rules, 10 streaming protocols.
ms is a pure-Rust media processing binary that replaces FFmpeg with a single, memory-safe, dependency-free executable. It auto-detects GPU hardware (Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, Intel Arc, AMD), supports modern codecs (AV1, AV2, VVC, Opus, FLAC), and includes built-in DRM encryption, pay-per-view token gating, HLS segmentation, broadcast IP protocols, and a security scanner that detects malicious payloads hidden in media files.
Zero CVEs from buffer overflows. Rust's ownership model guarantees safety at compile time.
No dynamic linking, no dependency hell. Copy and run on any platform.
Finds Apple VideoToolbox, NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, AMD VCN automatically.
Scans for malicious payloads, polyglot files, PHP disguises, metadata exploits.
HLS, MoQ/QUIC, WHIP/WHEP, NMOS IS-04/IS-05, SMPTE ST 2110, IPMX.
AES-128-CTR encryption, HMAC-signed tokens, self-destructing pay-per-view.
34 commands. 38 filters. 57 codec rules. One binary.
Encode any video to AV1 MP4 with built-in filters. Chunked processing for large files. rav1e encoder — pure Rust.
ms encode movie.mp4 output.av1 --chunk-size 30
Crop, scale, rotate, trim, speed, concatenate, picture-in-picture overlay.
ms video in.mp4 crop out.mp4 0 0 640 480
Decode, resample, normalize, fade, speed, pitch shift. Opus encode. AAC multichannel via fdk-aac-rust.
ms audio song.mp3 decode song.wav
Resize, crop, rotate, flip, thumbnail. JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, GIF.
ms image photo.jpg resize 1920 1080 out.jpg
Mux separate audio+video into MP4. Demux to extract raw streams. No re-encoding.
ms mux out.mp4 -v video.h264 -a audio.wav
PHP disguises, polyglot files, embedded scripts, ID3 bombs, EXIF injection, MP4 atom overflow, MKV EBML recursion.
ms validate suspect.mp4
Strip all metadata, hidden atoms, ID3 tags, EXIF data. Keeps only essential streams.
ms sanitize infected.mp4 clean.mp4
Encrypt/decrypt media. Key files generated alongside. HMAC-SHA256 token signing for PPV.
ms drm movie.mkv enc.mkv --action encrypt
Self-destructing video packages. Max views, expiry, token verification.
ms ppv-create movie.mkv pkg.mkv --max-views 5
Generate HLS playlists with TS/fMP4 segments. CMAF segments with MoQ/QUIC transport. WHIP/WHEP WebRTC ingest/egress.
ms streaming hls input.mp4 hls/ --segment-duration 4
NMOS IS-04/IS-05, SMPTE ST 2110, IPMX device integration.
ms broadcast nmos --registry http://reg.local
Chain operations with JSON pipelines. Auto context passing. Fork/join.
ms pipeline in.mp4 --steps '[...]'
Apple M1-M4, NVIDIA NVENC/NVDEC, Intel Arc/QSV, AMD VCN — automatic.
ms hw
47 rules, 31 formats. Identifies files by header bytes regardless of extension.
ms magic
System info, hardware detection, codec registry, file probe, memory status.
ms debug movie.mp4 --text
Unix socket IPC, sequential processing, daemon mode.
ms queue start --daemon
Why the industry standard isn't enough anymore.
