This is a port of libmpeg2 and mpeg2dec 0.4.1 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
libmpeg2 is a free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video
streams. It is released under the terms of the GPL license.
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 project homepage is at http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
- There are no DJGPP specific changes to the sources. To avoid a 8.3
file name collision between libmpeg2.[a|la] and libmpeg2convert.[a|la]
the later has been renamed to libmpg2convert.[a|la]. As for all
binaries and libraries that handle images of any kind, it should be
noticed that files (streams) are **always** openend in binary mode
with all the well known implications on a DOS/WINDOWS OS if the stream
is connected to STDIN and/or STDOUT when these are still connected to
the console.
- To configure and compile the sources you will need LFN support. This
means that you can only unzip and build the binaries on an OS that
offers LFN support like Win9X, WinXP, etc. There will be no support
for the building on plain DOS by me. IMHO this is not worth to be done
nowadays if the amount of work exceeds certain limit.
Of course, the distributed and/or build binaries and libraries will
*always* work on plain DOS.
As usual, all DJGPP specific stuff is located in /djgpp dir.
Please **read** the docs stored in /contrib/mpeg2dec.041/doc to become
familiar with this product.
The binaries and library and source packages can be downloaded from
ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp: 2007-02-25):
mpeg2dec 0.4.1 binaries and library and man format documentation:

mpeg2dec 0.4.1 source:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/mpg2041s.zip
For the convenience of the WinXP users the binaries and library have been
produced a second time using the djdev204 beta library. This package is
available at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2007-02-25):

Send mpeg2dec specific bug reports to libmpeg2-devel after having
subscribed to the list at <http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/lists.html>
Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp or <djgpp AT delorie DOT com>.
Enjoy.
