Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-23 Severity: wishlist * Package name : libmpeg2 Version : 0.2.1 Upstream Author : Aaron Holtzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and others * URL : http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL 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. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux aragorn 2.2.21 #1 Thu Aug 8 13:53:32 CEST 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=ca_ES.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=ca_ES.ISO-8859-1 -- no debconf information
