NTSC DV camera MOV files currently import without a usable native video decoder. This adds a dependency-free, pure-Rust decoder so FilmCraft can play and seek the original files directly, alongside its existing PCM audio support.

The new filmcraft-dv L0 crate implements 525/60 DV25/DVCPRO25 4:1:1 decoding from SMPTE 314M-2005 (stabilized 2013): DIF indexing, three-pass AC bit allocation, VLC/escape decoding, inverse quantization, 8×8 and 2-4-8 IDCT, and macroblock unshuffling. craft-media's MOV demuxer reports the dvc sample entry as an unrecognized video entry (CodecConfig::Unknown with that fourcc), and dv_factory claims exactly that entry and nothing else; no craft-libs change is needed. Native 4:1:1 chroma is replicated into the compositor's existing 4:2:2 representation. No runtime FFmpeg dependency or media conversion is introduced.

MOV integration currently covers the dvc sample entry and 720×480 NTSC DV25. PAL DV, DV50/DVCPRO50, DVCPRO HD, raw DV audio demultiplexing, AVI DV and DV encoding remain unsupported. The crate README records the specification edition and the interpretation of four abbreviated printed VLC words.

Tests generate fixtures locally through filmcraft-testkit (FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 makes a missing ffmpeg a failure); no private media or binary fixtures are included:

  • Eight patterns compared against an external FFmpeg oracle (maximum sample error ≤3, mean squared error <0.5, over the whole picture and over the clipped rightmost chroma columns), cached in target/fixtures/dv/ (cargo xtask fixtures dv). They cover the 8×8 and 2-4-8 DCT: the interlaced pattern is encoded with +ildct, and two patterns have every chroma block switched to 2-4-8, since FFmpeg's encoder never codes chroma that way.
  • Damaged coded data (a macroblock flagged damaged, an overlong coefficient run or a missing end of block) conceals only its video segment and the rest of the frame decodes; a wrong frame size, header or DIF ID is still an error. With its escapes the VLC table covers every bit pattern (tested), so corrupt AC bits surface as one of those two. Unit tests damage three segments of a synthetic frame, one per kind, check that each is rejected for that reason, that its luma is black and its chroma neutral, and that every other luma and chroma sample matches the clean decode; a bad DIF ID still fails the frame. On every oracle fixture, 96 bit flips in video DIF payloads each decode to a frame with at most one concealed segment, and some of them are concealed.
  • DIF/header/VLC bit mutations and truncated packets checked for panics.
  • Macroblock layout coverage.
  • MOV import with big-endian stereo PCM: random and sequential seeks compared against FFmpeg's frames, 4:1:1 chroma replicated into 4:2:2, PCM sample-exact.

Real camera footage (not committed): a 285-frame NTSC DV25 QuickTime clip decodes within maximum sample error 2 / mean squared error 0.088 of FFmpeg, including 5,247 2-4-8 chroma blocks at the right edge, and all four expanded VLC words occur in it.

Validation, at f1aa1c3 rebased on main 176e6a9:

  • GitHub CI workflow (the PR gate: cargo xtask ci with nextest and craft-fonts on ubuntu-24.04), run in my fork while this PR's workflows await approval: passed (including "Lockfile unchanged"): https://github.com/andymenard/filmcraft/actions/runs/40598967900
  • Locally: cargo xtask ci passes every stage (fmt, clippy -D warnings, doctests, layers, assets: 69, wasm: 50 crates including filmcraft-dv; Cargo.lock unchanged afterwards) except one test binary: filmcraft-gpu's lib tests crash with SIGSEGV inside libvulkan.so.1 when they run in parallel on this machine (Apple M1 Pro, Asahi Honeykrisp Vulkan), as they do on main; run one at a time they pass (41/41). This PR does not touch crates/gpu. The other test binaries: 3,836 passed, 0 failed, 47 ignored.
  • Every commit passes cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy -p filmcraft-dv -p filmcraft-codecs --all-targets -- -D warnings and FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 cargo test -p filmcraft-dv -p filmcraft-codecs on its own.
  • FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast (after cargo xtask fixtures), run before the last rebase and the test-only commits since (the newer main commits only change installer and packaging files): 3,889 passed, 47 ignored, 1 failed. The failure is environmental: filmcraft-hevc fuzz_hostile needs an ffmpeg with libkvazaar for one fuzz seed and this machine's ffmpeg has none, so required-oracle mode fails instead of skipping (it passes without FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES). This PR does not touch crates/hevc.

Oracle tests use external FFmpeg 8.1.3 with freshly generated synthetic fixtures. These tools are used only for validation and are not linked, bundled or used during playback.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added native decoding for NTSC DV25/DVCPRO25 video in MOV files, including playback with PCM audio.
    • Decoded video is identified as 4:1:1, 8-bit and converted to the app’s 4:2:2 video output format.
  • Limitations
    • PAL DV, DV50/HD, and DV in AVI files are not supported. DV encoding is unavailable.

A clean-room DV25 decoder is welcome, and the wiring is tidy (dv_factory only claims CodecConfig::Dv, and the dvc sample entry only maps to it). I'm asking for changes in two places before I can look at the decoder itself.

  • Mixed change. The first commit, apps/filmcraft/src/dev_icon.rs (the Linux dev desktop MimeType= line), has nothing to do with DV. The same fix is already open as #1958 ("dev desktop entry: the packaged MIME types too"), and #2122 carries a third copy. Please drop it from this PR and rely on #1958.
  • The oracle tests can skip silently, even in CI mode. crates/dv/tests/oracle.rs runs Command::new("ffmpeg") itself and returns with "SKIPPED" when it is missing. native_dv_mov_with_big_endian_pcm_and_random_seeking (crates/codecs/src/tests.rs) does the same through its ffmpeg(). The repo has filmcraft-testkit (require_ffmpeg! / ffmpeg_or_skip, crates/testkit/src/lib.rs:24), where FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 turns a skip into a failure. Without it, a green run without ffmpeg proves nothing about the decoder. Please use it in the new dv oracle test (filmcraft-testkit is a dev-dependency in the other codec crates).

Questions on the decoder itself:

  • The README says four abbreviated VLC words from Table 24 were expanded "validated against the external oracle". The oracle is FFmpeg's own DV encoder output. A code word its encoder never emits is not checked. Do you have any real camera footage (even a few frames you may share) that decodes to the same pixels as FFmpeg?
  • Are the progressive and interlaced cases both covered with chroma at the right edge (the "clipped rightmost chroma blocks")? The test list shows six patterns, with a hand-built geq one for chroma.

Size: 737 added lines plus a new crate. Please split the MIME line out, and I'll review the decoder and ask the pool to run it with ffmpeg 8.1 and FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 once the tests use the testkit.

Suggested reviewers: echelon

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to f1aa1

Damaged coded segments are concealed without discarding the DV frame. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to f1aa1

Native decoding expands the video files the application can process. Fixed frame limits, fresh per-frame buffers, and existing error handling constrain the added exposure. No concrete security defect was established, but malformed-input assurance remains incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — Imported media bytes reach the new decoder through the existing media opener, MOV source, decoder factory, and GOP cache. The demonstrated exposure is the importing application’s media-processing path and downstream frame consumers, rather than a newly introduced service or authority boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Attacker-controlled sample bytes encounter exact frame-size, header, and video DIF identity checks. Output planes have fixed dimensions, segment decoding stages local block state before pixel writes, and frame-level errors discard the local frame before the adapter returns output.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The existing intra-frame cache path uses private decoder instances and synchronized publication of successful owned frames. Decode errors do not publish output, and plane recycling requires exclusive Arc ownership. Cancellation is cooperative: an in-flight decode may finish and cache a complete frame, but the inspected path does not publish partially constructed DV planes.

Thanks! Pushed. The PR is now two commits: the decoder (unchanged) and one test/docs follow-up.

  • MIME line dropped; this relies on dev desktop entry: the packaged MIME types too (dev_icon test green again) #1958. Until that merges, dev_icon::tests::desktop_file_matches_the_packaged_fields fails here as it does on main.
  • Testkit: both DV tests now use filmcraft-testkit, so FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 fails instead of skipping. The DV fixtures are cached specs (cargo xtask fixtures dv), and docs/testing.md lists the DV criterion.

Real footage. Attached: three frames stream-copied from my own NTSC DV25 camera MOV, with a README containing the commands to compare them. Across those frames, 90.75% of samples are identical to FFmpeg's and the rest are off by one (one sample by two). Across the whole 285-frame clip: max 2, MSE 0.088. The differences are symmetric (no bias), which fits fixed-point arithmetic in FFmpeg's weighting/IDCT against our floating-point evaluation of the spec. FFmpeg's own -idct variants also differ from each other by ±1. Matching it bit for bit would mean copying FFmpeg's arithmetic, which AGENTS.md rules out; ProRes and DNx are in the same position (docs/testing.md). All four expanded VLC words occur in the clip (×1,497 to ×335,388).

dv-camera-frames.zip

Right-edge chroma. You were right to ask: there was a gap, just a different one. The decoder only sees each block's DCT mode bit (8×8 or 2-4-8). FFmpeg's encoder never codes chroma with 2-4-8, and luma only with +ildct, so the old suite had no 2-4-8 blocks at all. Now:

  • the interlaced pattern uses +ildct;
  • two patterns switch every chroma block to 2-4-8 before both decoders read them;
  • the rightmost chroma columns are checked on their own.

A decoder with 2-4-8 broken passed before and fails now. The camera clip has 5,247 right-edge 2-4-8 chroma blocks, all within ±1.

Also fixed: the MOV test now compares each seek against FFmpeg's frame and checks the PCM is exact. Its "frame 29" was one past the end of the 29-frame fixture.

The follow-up only touches tests and docs: about 140 net lines.

136-136: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Precompute the inverse of ORDER instead of searching it for every coefficient.

Block::decode runs a linear position search over 64 entries for every decoded AC coefficient. One frame has 8,100 blocks with up to 63 coefficients each. The search can therefore cost millions of comparisons per frame on the playback path. ORDER is constant, so a [[u8; 64]; 2] table from scan index to raster index removes the search. The table also removes the "invalid DV scan" error path: the scan >= 64 check on Line 133 already bounds the index.

Block::new also stores one byte per bit (Vec<u8> built on Line 107) for each of the 8,100 blocks, and continue_from extends these vectors again. If profiling of real clips shows decode time near the 33 ms frame budget, read the bits from a shared bit reader instead.

Two more small commits after CodeRabbit's review:

  • b1ff7a1 dv: the raster position of each coefficient is now looked up in SCAN, the inverse of ORDER built at compile time, instead of being searched for. Output is bit-identical on the 285-frame camera clip and every oracle fixture; 6.2 → 5.6 ms per frame here.
  • 5616a86 docs: the "Last updated" headers and the ROADMAP revision row for the DV entries.

All gates pass at 5616a86 apart from the dev_icon test (#1958).

Conceal damaged DV segments instead of failing the frame.

decode_frame propagates malformed VLC, coefficient-run, missing-EOB, and 0xF/0xF macroblock errors to its caller. DvDecoder::decode maps them to CodecError::Decode, so the affected sample produces no DecodedFrame; the normal GOP path propagates that error.

Recover at segment scope. Leave damaged macroblocks at the initial luma and chroma values, or copy co-located pixels. Continue with the next segment. Keep frame-level errors for invalid frame size, headers, and DIF IDs.

Implement a dependency-free decoder from SMPTE 314M-2005 and route MOV
dvc samples through native video playback, preserving existing audio
and seeking support. Add generated oracle and malformed-packet tests,
a streaming decode example, and scope and architecture documentation.

Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex
Review follow-up for the DV25 decoder tests:

- Find ffmpeg and generate fixtures through filmcraft-testkit, so
  FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1 turns a missing ffmpeg into a failure
  instead of a silent skip. The DV oracle fixtures are named specs
  cached under target/fixtures/dv/ and registered with
  `cargo xtask fixtures dv`; the mutation checks are their own test.
- FFmpeg's DV encoder only codes luma with the 2-4-8 DCT when asked for
  +ildct and never codes chroma with it, so the interlaced pattern had
  no 2-4-8 blocks at all. Encode it with +ildct, add two patterns whose
  chroma blocks are switched to 2-4-8 before both decoders read them,
  assert that this coverage is present, and check the clipped rightmost
  chroma columns separately from the whole picture.
- Move the DV MOV test to tests/it/dv_oracle.rs: each seek (out of order,
  then sequential) is compared against ffmpeg's frame, the 4:1:1 chroma
  must be replicated into 4:2:2, and the PCM must be sample-exact. The
  fixture has 29 frames; the old test requested a 30th.
- Docs: the DV README states how the expanded VLC words and the 2-4-8
  cases are covered; docs/testing.md lists the DV oracle criterion and
  its fixtures; codec-parity.md and gaps.md get revision-history rows
  for the DV entries the decoder commit changed.

Block::decode searched ORDER (SMPTE 314M figure 27) for the raster
position of every AC coefficient. SCAN is its inverse, built at compile
time from ORDER, so the lookup is one checked index. Output is
bit-identical (the 285-frame camera clip and every oracle fixture); the
camera clip decodes in 5.6 ms per frame instead of 6.2.

The DV25 decoder changes these docs; contributing.md asks for their
"Last updated" lines and revision history to follow. Update the three
headers, add the ROADMAP revision row, and date the codec-parity and
gaps rows 2026-10-27, when the change was rebased onto main, so they
are the newest entries.

Damaged coded data (a macroblock with STA 0xF, an invalid VLC, an
overlong coefficient run or a missing end of block) now conceals only
its video segment, which keeps black luma and neutral chroma, and the
rest of the frame decodes. The five macroblocks of a segment share its
overflow bits, so the segment is the smallest unit that can be dropped
safely. A wrong frame size, header or DIF ID is still a frame error.
Frame::concealed counts the concealed segments.

The test compared only luma. It now also checks that the concealed
segments' Cb and Cr samples are neutral (128) and every other chroma
sample matches the clean decode, as docs/testing.md describes.

The concealment test covered a damaged macroblock and an overlong run.
It now also covers a segment with no end of block, and checks that each
damaged segment is rejected for its own reason before it is concealed.
An invalid VLC cannot occur: with its escapes the table covers every bit
pattern (now a test), so the README no longer lists it, and corrupt AC
bits surface as an overlong run or a missing end of block.

On every oracle fixture, 96 bit flips in video DIF payloads must each
decode to a frame with at most one concealed segment, and some flips
must actually be concealed.

Avoid whitespace inside the code span.

markdownlint reports MD038 on this line. Write dvc in the code span and state that the fourcc includes a trailing U+0020. This preserves the format detail and removes the lint warning.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Document the trailing fourcc space without embedding it in the code span.

markdownlint reports MD038 on this line. Write dvc in the code span and state that the fourcc includes a trailing U+0020. This keeps the QuickTime sample-entry detail explicit.

Rebased onto current main (176e6a9), and the CodeRabbit concealment finding is fixed. The PR is seven commits; each passes fmt, clippy and the dv / codecs tests (with FILMCRAFT_REQUIRE_ORACLES=1) on its own.

  • dvc routing. main now takes the MOV demuxer from craft-media, so the CodecConfig::Dv variant this PR added to crates/isobmff is gone. craft-media already reports a dvc sample entry as CodecConfig::Unknown with that fourcc, and dv_factory claims exactly that entry and nothing else. No craft-libs change is needed.
  • Test layout. The DV MOV oracle is now crates/codecs/tests/it/dv_oracle.rs, in the crate's single test binary (CI: xtask ci in the dev profile, one test binary per crate, nextest #2860). The DV crate keeps its one tests/oracle.rs.
  • Damaged data (CodeRabbit). Damaged coded data (a macroblock whose STA and QNO are both 0xF, an overlong coefficient run, a missing end of block) now conceals only that video segment, which keeps black luma and neutral chroma, and the rest of the frame decodes. The segment is the smallest unit: its five macroblocks share overflow bits. A wrong frame size, header or DIF ID is still a frame error. Frame::concealed counts concealed segments.
    • The finding also lists malformed VLCs, but those can't occur: with its escapes the VLC table covers every bit pattern (now a test), so corrupt AC bits surface as an overlong run or a missing end of block. The commit message of 8609540 still lists "an invalid VLC"; the README and docs are corrected in f1aa1c3.
    • Tests: three segments of a synthetic frame are damaged, one per kind; each must be rejected for that reason and concealed, and every other luma and chroma sample must match the clean decode. A bad DIF ID still fails the frame. On every oracle fixture, 96 bit flips in video DIF payloads must each decode to a frame with at most one concealed segment (4–15 of them do conceal one, depending on the pattern).
  • Docs. The DV history rows and "Last updated" headers are dated today and sit as the newest entries; the crate README, codec-parity.md and testing.md describe the concealment.

The CI workflows here are waiting for maintainer approval (fork PR). Meanwhile, the same CI workflow ran on this head (f1aa1c3) in my fork and passed: https://github.com/andymenard/filmcraft/actions/runs/40598967900. Details are in the updated description; the dev_icon caveat is gone, since main fixed it in 79f5036.
