-ABOUT LIBMPEG2
-libmpeg2 is a free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video
-streams. It is released under the terms of the GPL license.
-The main goals in libmpeg2 development are:
-      * Conformance - libmpeg2 is able to decode all mpeg streams that
-        conform to certain restrictions: "constrained parameters" for
-        mpeg-1, and "main profile" for mpeg-2. In practice, this is
-        what most people are using. For streams that follow these
-        restrictions, we believe libmpeg2 is 100% conformant to the
-        mpeg standards - and we have a pretty extensive test suite to
-        check this.
-      * Speed - there has been huge efforts there, and we believe
-        libmpeg2 is the fastest library around for what it
-        does. Please tell us if you find a faster one ! With typical
-        video streams as found on DVD's, and doing only decoding with
-        no display, you should be able to get about 110 fps on a
-        PIII/666, or 150 fps on an Athlon/950. This is less than 20
-        cycles per output pixel. In a real player program, the display
-        routines will probably take as much time as the actual
-        decoding !
-      * Portability - most of the code is written in C, and when we
-        use platform-specific optimizations (typically assembly
-        routines, currently used for the motion compensation and the
-        inverse cosine transform stages) we always have a generic C
-        routine to fall back on.  This should be portable to all
-        architectures - at least we have heard reports from people
-        running this code on x86, ppc, sparc, arm and
-        sh4. Assembly-optimized implementations are available on x86
-        (MMX) and ppc (altivec) architectures. Ultrasparc (VIS) is
-        probably the next on the list - we'll see.
-      * Reuseability - we do not want libmpeg2 to include any
-        project-specific code, but it should still include enough
-        features to be used by very diverse projects. We are only
-        starting to get there - the best way to help here is to give
-        us some feedback !

-MPEG2DEC
-mpeg2dec is a test program for libmpeg2. It decodes mpeg-1 and mpeg-2
-video streams, and also includes a demultiplexer for mpeg-1 and mpeg-2
-program streams. It is purposely kept simple : it does not include
-features like reading files from a DVD, CSS, fullscreen output,
-navigation, etc... The main purpose of mpeg2dec is to have a simple
-test bed for libmpeg2.
-The libmpeg2 source code is always distributed in the mpeg2dec
-package, to make it easier for people to test it.
-The basic usage is to just type "mpeg2dec file" where file is a
-demultiplexed mpeg video file.
-The "-s" option must be used for multiplexed (audio and video) mpeg
-files using the "program stream" format. These files are usualy found
-on the internet or on unencrypted DVDs.
-The "-t" option must be used for multiplexed (audio and video) mpeg
-files using the "transport stream" format. These files are usualy
-found in digital TV applications.
-The "-o" option is used to select a given output module - for example
-to redirect the output to a file. This is also used for performance
-testing and conformance testing.
-The "-c" option is used to disable all optimizations.
-OTHER PROJECTS USING LIBMPEG2
-libmpeg2 is being used by various other projects, including:
-      * xine (http://xine.sourceforge.net/) - started as a simple
-        mpeg-2 audio and video decoder, but it since became a
-        full-featured DVD and video media player.
-      * VideoLAN (http://www.videolan.org/) - video streaming over an
-        ethernet network, can also be used as a standalone player.
-      * MPlayer (http://www.MPlayerHQ.hu) - another good player, it is
-        also very robust against damaged streams.
-      * movietime (http://movietime.sourceforge.net/) - still quite
-        young, but it looks very promising !
-      * mpeg2decX (http://homepage1.nifty.com/~toku/software_en.html) -
-        a graphical interface for mpeg2dec for macintosh osX.
-      * TCVP (http://tcvp.sf.net) - video and music player for unix.
-      * drip (http://drip.sourceforge.net/) - a DVD to DIVX transcoder.
-      * PoMP
-        (http://www.dmclab.hanyang.ac.kr/research/project/PoDS/PoDS_sw.htm) -
-        a research player optimized to minimize disk power consumption.
-      * OMS (http://www.linuxvideo.org/oms/)
-      * XMPS (http://xmps.sourceforge.net/)
-      * GStreamer (http://www.gstreamer.net/) - a framework for
-        streaming media; it has an mpeg2 decoding plugin based on
-        libmpeg2.
-      * mpeglib (http://mpeglib.sourceforge.net/) - a video decoding
-        library that usess libmpeg2 when decoding mpeg streams.
-      * daphne (http://daphne.rulecity.com/) - a laserdisc arcade game
-        simulator.
-      * GOPchop (http://outflux.net/unix/software/GOPchop/) - a
-        GOP-accurate editor for MPEG2 streams.
-If you use libmpeg2 in another project, let us know !
-TASKS
-There are several places where we could easily use some help:
-      * Documentation: libmpeg2 still has no documentation. Every
-        project using it has had to figure things out by looking at
-        the header files, at the mpeg2dec sample application, and by
-        asking questions. Writing down a nice documentation would make
-        the code more easily reuseable.
-      * Testing: If you find any stream that does not decode right
-        with libmpeg2, let us know ! The best thing would be to mail
-        to the libmpeg2-devel mailing list. Also, it would be nice to
-        build a stress test so we can make sure libmpeg2 never crashes
-        on bad streams.
-      * Coding: There is a small TODO list in the mpeg2dec package,
-        you can have a look there ! Most items are pretty terse
-        though.
-      * Porting: If you're porting to a new architecture, you might
-        want to experiment with the compile flags defined in
-        configure.in . When you figure out whats fastest on your
-        platform, send us a patch !
-      * Assembly optimizations: We only have x86 and altivec
-        optimizations yet, it would be worthwhile writing routines for
-        other architectures, especially those that have SIMD
-        instruction set extensions ! Also the yuv2rgb x86 routines
-        could probably be optimized a lot.
-CVS SNAPSHOTS
-A daily snapshot is created using "make distcheck" every night and
-uploaded to http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/files/mpeg2dec-snapshot.tar.gz .
-It is easier to use than the CVS repository, because you do not need
-to have the right versions of automake, autoconf and libtool
-installed. It might be convenient when working on a libmpeg2 port for
-example.
-CVS REPOSITORY
-The latest libmpeg2 and mpeg2dec source code can always be found by
-anonymous CVS:
-# export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.libmpeg2.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/libmpeg2
-# cvs login (Just press Return when prompted for a password)
-# cvs checkout mpeg2dec
-You can also browse the latest changes online at
-http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/libmpeg2/mpeg2dec/
-The other CVS modules are mpeg2dec-streams for the test suite, and
-mpeg2dec-livid for the CVS history of the project while it was still
-hosted on the linuxvideo.org servers.
-MAILING LISTS
-See the subscription information at http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/lists.html
-libmpeg2-devel
-This is the main mailing list for technical discussion about
-libmpeg2. Anyone wanting to work on libmpeg2, or maybe just stay
-informed about the development process, should probably subscribe to
-this list.
-libmpeg2-checkins
-All libmpeg2 checkins are announced there. This is a good way to keep
-track of what goes into CVS.
-libmpeg2-announce
-This is a very low traffic mailing list, only for announcements of new
-versions of libmpeg2. Only project administrators can post there.
