Current work,
without launch theatre.

This matrix is the public product boundary. It separates implemented engineering, later plans, and claims that current evidence does not support.

Uncrush product status matrix

Current code · v0.1

Implemented

The native codebase analyzes supported MOV/MP4, verifies encoded media and container semantics, and creates verified same-container fast-start copies.

  • Bounded MOV/MP4 analysisReads the supported container profile with explicit limits and exact integer timing.
  • Canonical encoded-sample identityDescribes selected encoded video and audio samples in a stable, versioned form.
  • Direct safe-transform-v1 verificationCompares encoded payloads, timing, decoder setup, geometry, color, and audio meaning between supported files.
  • Native CLI foundationProvides analysis, identity, verification, and verified same-container fast-start commands.
  • Source-bound transformation planningBinds checked copy and rewrite actions to one exact immutable source snapshot.
  • Bounded streaming container writerCopies supported media through a reusable buffer without decoding or re-encoding it.
  • Verified faststart-v1Moves moov for same-container fast-start output and rewrites required absolute chunk offsets.
  • Generated-output re-analysisReopens the private candidate and analyzes it independently before publication.
  • Mandatory publication gatePublishes media only after container-copy checks pass and safe-transform-v1 returns verified.

Current boundary

In development

No browser processor or next media transformation is active. Uncrush will define the next phase in a separate design.

    Later milestones

    Planned

    MOV-to-MP4 remux, browser/WASM processing, platform profiles, and controlled platform research require separate milestones and evidence.

    • MOV-to-MP4 remuxPlanned for an approved source profile; faststart-v1 keeps MOV as MOV and MP4 as MP4.
    • Browser WASM processorIntended to run approved processing locally in a future browser experience.
    • Versioned platform profilesPlanned profiles will encode measured, reviewable preparation rules instead of folklore.
    • Controlled rendition experimentsLater research will compare retrieved delivery renditions under documented conditions.
    • Mobile applicationsiOS and Android experiences remain future work after the portable processing boundary exists.

    Evidence boundary

    Not claimed

    Uncrush publishes platform-quality statements only after controlled, reproducible testing supports them.

    • No public processor yetThis website explains the work. It does not accept, transform, store, or upload video.
    • No proven TikTok-quality resultNo controlled rendition experiment has shown that Uncrush improves TikTok delivery quality.
    • No upload automationThere are no accounts, cloud media services, platform integrations, or automated uploads.
    • No decoded-media claimCurrent verification compares encoded samples and supported container semantics, not decoded pixels or audio.
