The C2PA Rust SDK (v0.91.4) can embed manifests in WAV, AVI and WebP (RIFF), MP3 and FLAC (ID3-style), and MP4/M4A/MOV (BMFF). Fragmented MP4 (DASH) is supported only for file-based operations. It has no Ogg, font or HTML handler, although C2PA 2.4 Appendix A defines embeddings for Ogg Vorbis (added in 2.3), fonts, HTML, ZIP and text. A ZIP handler exists in code but isn't in the docs table. Ogg Vorbis/Opus support is an open experimental pull request (#2073), not merged as of 2026-10-22. c2patool supports whatever library version it was built with. Curator qualifications: Docs and listings read 2026-10-22; nothing signed. Handler internals (riff/mp3/flac/bmff) and the c2patool version coupling carried from producer reading. Limitations: Docs and listings read 2026-10-22; nothing signed. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
