In Ruffle, the Adobe Flash Player emulator written in Rust, support has been added for the decoder of the H.263 video compression format, allowing playback of video streams embedded in swf files (currently without support for the flv format). The H.263 decoder is written from scratch in Rust and is not a wrapper around FFmpeg. The codec implementation was initially proposed for inclusion in Ruffle back in January, but it was delayed due to a risk analysis related to patent claims. The implementation of the new open H.263 codec is published as a separate project h263-rs, which can be used not only in Ruffle. The code is provided under MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses.
