Description:

The MPEG Library is a collection of C routines to decode MPEG movies and dither
them in a variety of colour schemes. Most of the code in the library comes
directly from the Berkely MPEG player, an X11-specific implementation that
works fine, but suffers from minimal documentation and a lack of modularity.

A front end to the Berkeley decoding engine was developed by Greg Ward at the
Montreal Neurological Institute in May/June 1994 to facilitate the development
of an MPEG player specifically for Silicon Graphics workstations. The decoding
engine together with the MNI front end constitute the MPEG Library.
