Open Source Licenses & Attribution
RiftRec is built on the shoulders of incredible open-source projects. This page lists all third-party software we use and their respective licenses.
Special Thanks
FFmpeg
The backbone of our recording pipeline. FFmpeg handles all video encoding (H.264, H.265), audio processing (AAC), and muxing. Without FFmpeg, RiftRec would not exist.
LGPL 2.1 / GPL 2+
Rust
The programming language powering RiftRec's backend. Rust gives us the performance of C++ with memory safety guarantees — critical for real-time screen capture at 60fps.

Riot Games
League of Legends and the LCU/SGP APIs that make match history, lobby scouting, and player data possible. Champion, item, and rune icons from Data Dragon.
