Could you build this?
No Writing a zero-dependency MP4 container muxer in pure Rust supporting modern codecs (H.264, H.265, AV1) requires deep, byte-level mastery of the ISO base media file format specifications (ISO/IEC 14496-12/14/15).
What it would actually take: Implementation requires manually implementing the full ISO/IEC 14496-12/15 specifications in Rust, parsing elementary video bitstreams (SPS/PPS parameter sets, NAL units, OBU sequence headers for AV1), and building the container box tree (ftyp, moov, trak, mdia, minf, stbl, mdat) with precise sample table offsets, chunking, and timescale calculations without external C/FFmpeg dependencies.
