Rowe, Ketan Patel, and Brian Smith - Computer Science Division-EECS, Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley - -This directory contains a public domain MPEG video software -decoder. The decoder is implemented as a library that will -take a video stream and display it in an X window on an 8, 24 -or 32 bit deep display. The main routine is supplied to -demonstrate the use of the decoder library. Several dithering -algorithms are supplied based on the Floyd-Steinberg, ordered -dither, and half-toning algorithms that tradeoff quality and -performance. Neither the library nor the main routine handle -real-time synchronization or audio streams. - -The decoder implements the standard described in the Committee -Draft ISO/IEC CD 11172 dated December 6, 1991 which is -sometimes refered to as "Paris Format." The code has been -compiled and tested on the following platforms: - - HP PA-RISC (HP/UX 8.X, X11R4) (i.e., HP 9000/7XX and 9000/3XX) - Sun Sparc (SunOS 4.X, X11R5) - DECstation 5000 and Alpha - IBM RS6000 - Silicon Graphics Indigo - MIPS RISC/os 4.51 - Sequent Symmetry - Sony NEWS - and more than we can list here. - -If you decide to port the code to a new architecture, please let -us know so that we can incorporate the changes into our sources. - -This directory contains everything required to build and -display video. We have included source code, a makefile, an Imakefile, -installation instructions, and a man page. Data files can -be obtained from the same ftp site this was located in. -See the INSTALL file for instructions on how to -compile and run the decoder. - -The data files were produced by XING. XING data does not take -advantage of P or B frames (ie, frames with motion compensation). -Performance of the player on XING data is significantly slower -(half or less) than the performance when motion compensated MPEG -data is decoded. We are very interested in running the software -on other MPEG streams. Please contact us if you have a stream -that does not decode correctly. Also, please send us new streams -produced by others that do utilize P and B frames. - -NOTE: One particular XING data file: raiders.mpg, is not a -valid MPEG stream since it does not contain a sequence -header. - -We have established several mailing lists for messages about -the decoder: - -mpeg-list-dist@CS.Berkeley.EDU - General information on the decoder for everyone interested - should be sent to this list. This should become active after - 11/20/92 - -mpeg-list-request@CS.Berkeley.EDU - Requests to join or leave the list should be sent to this - address. The subject line should contain the single word - ADD or DELETE. - -mpeg-bugs@CS.Berkeley.EDU - Problems, questions, or patches should be sent to this address. - -Our future plans include porting the decoder to run on other -platforms, integrating it into a video playback system that -supports real-time synchronization and audio streams, and -further experiments to improve the performance of the -decoder. Vendors or other organizations interested in supporting -this research or discussing other aspects of this project should -contact Larry Rowe at Rowe@CS.Berkeley.EDU. - -We also plan on producing an MPEG encoder. The encoder will NOT be -a real time digitizer, but will be intended for offline processing -of video data. - -ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: - We gratefully thank Hewlett-Packard, Fujitsu, the Semiconductor - Research Corporation for financial support. - - We also want to thank the following people for their help: - - Tom Lane of the Independent JPEG Group provided us with - the basic inverse DCT code used by our player. - (tom_lane@g.gp.cs.cmu.edu) - - Reid Judd of Sun Microsystems provided advice and assistance. - - Todd Brunhoff of NVR provided advise and assistance. - - Toshihiko Kawai of Sony provided advise and assistance. - - - - - - - - |
