Available from:

Page explaining it:
http://www.mpeg.org/MPEG/MSSG/#source

This is the code developed a MPEG technical report to show their
specification was implementable. It provides the mpeg2encode and
mpeg2decode executables needed to make ImageMagick support MPEG files
nicely.

The readme implies that the code is in the public domain.
