Description : free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video streams
The main goals in libmpeg2 development are:
* Conformance - libmpeg2 is able to decode all mpeg streams that conform to
certain restrictions. For streams that follow these restrictions, libmpeg2 is
probably 100% conformant to the mpeg standards - and there's a pretty
extensive test suite to check this.
* Speed - there has been huge efforts there, and libmpeg2 is probably the
fastest library around for what it does.
* Portability - most of the code is written in C, and when platform-specific
optimizations are used, there always is 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.
* Reuseability - libmpeg2 is not intended to include any project-specific
code, but it should still include enough features to be used by very diverse
projects.
