libmpeg2
A library for decoding MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 video
libmpeg2
Description
libmpeg2 is a library for decoding MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 video. Its main development goals are:
- Conformance: libmpeg2 is able to decode all MPEG streams that conform to certain restrictions: 'Constrained Parameters' for MPEG-1, and 'Main Profile' for MPEG-2. - Speed: With typical video streams as found on DVD's, and doing only decoding with no display, you should be able to get less than 20 cycles per output pixel. In a real player program, the display routines will probably take as much time as the actual decoding! - Portability: Most of the code is written in C, and when we use platform-specific optimizations (typically assembly routines, currently used for the motion compensation and the inverse cosine transform stages) we always have a generic C routine to fall back on. - Reuseability: libmpeg2 doesn't include any project-specific code, but it should still include enough features to be used by very diverse projects.
Install
Channel stable v0.5.1-7
This app is curated in HaikuPorts. Install it from there, it is already available in HaikuDepot.
pkgman install libmpeg2
Careful: the file comes from HaikuPorts' own server, but installing it by hand is not the way in. It is pkgman that resolves the dependencies an .hpkg does not carry with it, and a package installed on its own may simply not run. Use the pkgman command above, unless you know exactly why you want the file.
