TAO MPEG Player
==========================

This directory contains the source code for TAO's Audio/Video Mpeg
player. This is written using the TAO's Audio/Video streaming service.

This is a modified version of the Distributed Audio/video Mpeg player
developed at the Oregon Graduate Institute. For more information about
the original player read README.OGI.

The MPEG-1 player requires X windows and hence may not work on Windows
platforms. 

To run:
======

1. Start the Naming service.

2. Start mpeg/source/server/server

3. You can start the player
        mpeg/source/client/vcr

The video and audio files can be either specified on the command line
or be read from a file in 

        ~/.vcr/vcrPrograms

The format of the entries should be like this
Three Stooges-1
/project/merengue/MPEG_movies/ts1_v.mpg
/project/merengue/MPEG_movies/ts1_a.au

i.e
Name of the Movie.
Video file path
Audio file path.

You can download some of the MPEG-1 audio and video files from this
URL.
        http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~naga/MPEG_movies

You can also download the .Info files used by the server to store the
information about the MPEG files.

If you have the ~/.vcr/vcrPrograms then you can select the Prog button
on the player and select the movie.

You can also give the audio and video files on the command line like

vcr -v video_file_path -a audio_file_path.
