We created a safer AV1 decoder, rav1d, by forking the dav1d decoder and rewriting the C code in Rust. It works well except our Rust is 5% slower than the C. We're not sure why so we're offering a $20k bounty to figure it out and make the Rust code faster. memorysafety.org/blog/rav1d-pe

$20,000 rav1d AV1 Decoder Performance Bounty

In March of 2023 we announced that we were starting work on a safer high performance AV1 decoder called rav1d, written in Rust. We partnered with Immunant to do the engineering work. By September of 2024 rav1d was basically complete and we learned a lot during the process. Today rav1d works well—it passes all the same tests as the dav1d decoder it is based on, which is written in C. It’s possible to build and run Chromium with it.
