I'm kind of stunned we haven't gotten something better / more rust based than ffmpeg?
Especially curious given the advent of apple metal etc.
Does anyone have recommendations?

"Rust based" is not a feature. End users DO NOT CARE. What's your value prop?
Gstreamer is increasingly developed in Rust, and is a far saner, better documented and more flexible framework for developers than libav/ffmpeg.
The pipeline/plugin based architecture is pretty neat even as an end user, I find it a lot more discoverable.
Gstreamer is a high level API that uses FFmpeg, not a FFmpeg replacement.

Why? It's a Herculean effort. It took it was 28 years between the creation of C and FFMPEG, so if there still is not a replacement by 2038, then your complaint is justified.
