Could you build this?
No A native Godot 4 C++ GDExtension implementing FFmpeg demuxing, hardware video decoding, and zero-copy GPU texture passing requires deep systems programming, graphics API knowledge, and multimedia engineering.
What it would actually take: The project requires writing a C++ GDExtension binding Godot's RenderingServer directly with FFmpeg's `libavcodec`/`libavformat`. The challenging part is setting up hardware-accelerated decode pipelines (NVDEC, VA-API, VideoToolbox) and sharing decoded surfaces directly with Vulkan/DirectX textures via shared memory/DMA-BUF without CPU round-trips.
