libmpeg2

libmpeg2 is a free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video streams. Its main goals are: 

    * Conformance - libmpeg2 can 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 get about 110 fps on a
      PIII/666, or 150 fps on an Athlon/950. This is less than 20
      cycles per output pixel. 
    * Portability - most of the code is in C; even platform-specific
      optimizations we always have a generic C routine to fall back
      on. This should be portable to all architectures.
    * Reuseability - we do not want libmpeg2 to include any
      project-specific code, but it should still include enough
      features to be used by very diverse projects.
