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. ======================= - The DJGPP specific changes to the sources are those required to pacify the compiler and to include the right headers to provide the required functions prototypes. 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. It should also be noticed that you will need the bash port bsh205bbr2.zip to compile the sources; bsh204br2.zip does not work, it is not able to process certain parts of the libtool script and I have not investigated this issue further. I also do not if the ports bsh205bb.zip and bsh204b.zip work or not. 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/libmpeg2.051/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: 2009-02-18): libmpeg2 0.5.1 binaries and library and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/lmpg051b.zip libmpeg2 0.5.1 source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/lmpg051s.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 2009-02-18): libmpeg2 0.5.1 binaries and library and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/lmpg051b.zip Send libmpeg2 specific bug reports to libmpeg2-devel after having subscribed to the list at Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or .
