If you have significant, demonstrable experience in Rust and multimedia-related programming, please let me know, I'll be more than happy to invite you as a collaborator.

Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)

Both ffmpeg-the-third and ffmpeg-sys-the-third currently require a Rust version of 1.61.0 or higher. Increases in MSRV will result in a semver MINOR version increase.

If you are having issues compiling this crate on your version of Rust, there are two tools you can use to help find MSRV-compatible dependency versions:

• Install a nightly Rust toolchain and run cargo +nightly update -Zmsrv-policy. This will automatically resolve dependencies to versions that are compatible with the rust-version in Cargo.toml.
• Check the Cargo.lock.MSRV in this repository. It contains dependency versions that are known to compile on the MSRV. In the simplest case, you can just cp Cargo.lock.MSRV Cargo.lock. For more complex dependency graphs, you might need to manually select compatible versions from the Cargo.lock.MSRV.
