# ffpb-rs **Not smart. Not comprehensive. Not guaranteed to work.**
ffpb-rs is rust implementation of [ffpb](https://github.com/althonos/ffpb). ffpb is an ffmpeg progress formatter. It will attempt to display a nice progress bar in the output, based on the raw ffmpeg output, as well as an adaptative ETA timer. ![showcase](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clitic/ffpb-rs/main/images/showcase.gif) ## Installations Visit [releases](https://github.com/clitic/ffpb-rs/releases) for prebuilt binaries. You just need to copy that binary to any path specified in your `PATH` environment variable. Or you can even install it through cargo. ```bash cargo install ffpb ``` ## Usage ffpb is is not even self-aware. Any argument given to the ffpb command is transparently given to the ffmpeg binary on your system, without any form of validation. So if you know how to use the ffmpeg cli, you know how to use ffpb. ```bash ffpb --help ``` ## Rust Library Add this to your Cargo.toml file. ```toml [dependencies] ffpb = "0.1.2" ``` Then call ffmpeg like this. ```rust fn main() { let args = ["-i", "test.mp4", "-c:v", "copy", "test.mkv"] .iter() .map(|x| x.to_string()) .collect::
