1006 - vo_xmga.c: G200 draw_slice fixed
1007 xmga + mga: common part (draw_frame & draw_slice) moved to mga_common.c
1008 - some independent code (asfinfo.c and GL-test) moved to the new TOOLS subdir
1009 - movinfo.c added to TOOLS (small util to dump .mov file structure)
1010 - AVI & ASF stream id detection changed: now using IDs from the header
1011 (but still can be overriden by -aid or -vid) [Christoph H. Lampert]
1012 - native MS-GSM audio codec ported from avifile source (-afm 6)
1013 [thanks for the testfile to Christoph H. Lampert]
1014 - README updated (input & codec lists)
1015 - implemented .asf audio descrambling [Dirk Vornheder & Einon]
1016 -> that weird_al_yankovic asf is not so weird now :)
1017 - AUTHORS file changed
1019 mplayer v0.11-pre18: Feb 7 2001
1020 patch release :)
1021 - skip broken .asf fragments (for better seeking)
1022 - seeking code cleanup in sources (now it's in a switch(){})
1023 - opendivx encoding bitrate option changed from -divxq to -br
1024 (for the divx -> divx re-encoding)
1025 - TO DO section moved to file TODO
1026 - applied ./configure and Makefile changes patch from LGB
1027 - libvo function changes by Pontscho: x11 (with -fs), xmga (bugfixed!)
1028 - libvo: driver sources renamed from video_out_*.c -> vo_*.c
1029 - libvo: added uninit() function to drivers
1030 - libvo: fork()'ed X11 eventhandler for x11 and xmga drivers [me & Pontscho]
1031 (gl and xv version is coming soon!)
1032 - libvo: sdl driver now closes SDL at QUIT...
1033 - small english fixes (docs & messages) [Balazs Tibor]
1035 mplayer v0.11-pre17: Feb 4 2001
1036 fixes
1037 - asf "missing video stream" fixed (stream id & 0x7F) [Christoph H. Lampert]
1038 - added GL-test directory, it contains source and compiler script of a
1039 very simple open-gl texture updating (glTexSubImage) test program.
1040 if it runs well, then mplayer -o gl should work too.
1041 it works on G400+Utah-GLX, but segfaults in the G400 driver of X 4.0.2/DRI.
1042 try it with different cards/drivers, and please report me the results.
1043 - benchmarking in gltest.c: calculate fps and process times
1044 - .asf seeking v0.01-pre0.1 :)
1046 mplayer v0.11-pre16: Feb 4 2001
1047 ACM fixed
1048 - Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for asf with divx audio):
1049 There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
1050 at low bitrates (usually used for .asf files with divx audio)
1051 Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
1052 - SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
1053 - opendivx support in .asf files [Gérard Lantau]
1054 - ./configure & Makefiles patch by Aaron Hope applied.
1055 (adds --with-win32libdir and fixes --with-x11libdir)
1056 - ./configure fixed, now it defaults to /usr/lib/win32 if detection failed
1058 mplayer v0.11-pre15: Feb 2 2001
1059 asf sync fixed
1060 - asf parser: now supports other than 0x5D segments [Dirk Vornheder]
1061 - new asf PTS reading: sync works now, including fps...
1062 (-fps no longer required!) [thanks again to Eugene Kuznetsov for docs!]
1064 mplayer v0.11-pre14: Feb 1 2001
1065 small fixes, asf sync v0.1 :)
1066 - version number incremented :)))
1067 - libvo / Xv driver swapped Red-Blue fixed
1068 - asf timestamps implemented - now asf A-V should be in sync if you
1069 specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
1070 [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from asf headers :(((]
1071 - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
1072 if you see many warning! messages playing an .asf file, then contact
1073 me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
1074 Don't forget: there is no public doc about the .asf file format, so
1075 everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
1076 we never will have working .asf player...
1077 - asf fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...
1079 mplayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31 2001
1080 libvo changes, mpeg bitrate, vcd fix, asf grouping
1081 - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
1082 destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
1083 It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
1084 - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
1085 -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
1086 - mpeg bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
1087 then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
1088 -> fixed seeking for those mpegs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
1089 - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
1090 - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
1091 [bugreport: Kang Sun]
1092 - asf_parser: grouping implemented! [test file provided by Gabucino :))]
1094 mplayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30 2001
1095 ./configure fixes, improved odivx-encoding, streaming fixes
1096 - ./configure: using /tmp/main$$.c instead /tmp.main.c, and
1097 remove file after tests [SaPe]
1098 - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fallback to 'pentium'
1099 if fails (useful for people with old gcc and new cpu :))
1100 - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
1101 - version number incremented [Gabucino]
1102 - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames
1103 (sizeof() changed to strlen()...) [Gabucino]
1104 - avi writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
1105 file already exists...) [Gabucino]
1106 - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (no kbits!) default: 780000)
1107 - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
1108 - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
1109 - fast Mpeg-ES detection (doesn't read the whole Mpeg-PS file)
1110 - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
1111 (requires for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)
1113 mplayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29 2001
1114 streaming fixes, asf support pre, indeo5 fix
1115 - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now it dumps streams to files - need testing!
1116 (it's ready to be converted to asf demuxer and intergated into MPlayer)
1117 - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now it really seek back to 0 position!
1118 - .asf file format detection added (no .asf reading yet!!!)
1119 - .asf demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
1120 > it plays .asf video well, but still has problems with divx/wma audio. :(((
1121 - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
1122 - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
1123 changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
1124 - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags
1125 OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
1126 cause image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
1127 - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
1128 - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
1129 - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.
1131 mplayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22 2001
1132 OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, avi seek fixes
1133 - new libvo driver: odivx (OpenDivX File Writer)
1134 - AVI file writting support, new option: -encode filename
1135 to encode an mpeg/vob/vcd to opendivx:
1136 mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
1137 (sound encoding/copy is not yet supported)
1138 - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
1139 - avi writer: index support
1140 - small fixes in avi writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
1141 - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
1142 - missing {} in mplayer.c occuring audio reads when has_audio=0
1143 - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
1144 - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
1145 - CPU flags in ./configure changed:

1147 386,486 -> i386,i486 [Balazs Tibor]
1148 - demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len [Balazs Tibor]
1149 - FAQ added
1151 ** Now we are ready with planned features & urgent fixes, **
1152 ** it's time to final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **
1154 mplayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18 2001
1155 OpenDivX fixes,speedup
1156 - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
1157 now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
1158 - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (cpu %)
1159 - IDCT code ported from libmpeg2 -> much faster OpenDivX decoding
1161 mplayer v0.11-pre8: Jan 18 2001
1162 SDL fixes, OpenDivX support
1163 - added -I/usr/X11R6/include to libvo CFLAGS
1164 - (removed later: applied libvo SDL driver fixes by Jeffrey Boser)
1165 - OpenDivX support, initial hack, maybe not work for you...
1166 (I need testfiles, I have just only one)
1167 use -divxq option to adjust quality (1..29 works), 1=default
1169 mplayer v0.11-pre7: Jan 14 2001
1170 SDL support
1171 - ported SDL driver from mpeg2dec/libvo (currect CVS)
1172 (it's slower than internal X11 driver, but supports software scaling!)
1173 - fixed SDL driver to support -fs and pass keyboard events
1174 - SDL driver changed to support YV12 and YUY2 formats instead of IYUV
1175 (now works with DivX files too)
1176 - 'q' (Quit) disabled in SDL fullscreen mode (because it's impossible
1177 to restore screen before exiting so it gets unusable state now)
1179 mplayer v0.11-pre6: Jan 14 2001
1180 audio fix
1181 - fixed video_out_xv.c compiling problems [bugreport: Kalle Mellerup]
1182 - modified audio playing: always keep buffer (both internal and card's)
1183 filled using select() -> -alsa audio delays should be fixed.
1184 - updated DOCS/AUTHORS and DOCS/README
1186 mplayer v0.11-pre5: Jan 12 2001
1187 xmmp audio support, applied Pontscho's libvo patch
1188 - xmmp audio driver support by Arthur Kleer
1189 - new video_out driver by Pontscho: xmga (Matrox G200/G400 only!)
1190 It does same under X 3.3.x what Xv extension does under X 4.0.x!
1191 (you will have a moveable/resizeable window but see an YUV video
1192 overlay in it using color keying)
1193 - added keyboard event support in X11 windows [Pontscho]
1194 (using mplayer_[put|get]_key() in codecctrl.c)
1196 mplayer v0.11-pre4: Jan 6 2001
1197 x11 driver fixes, 15/16bpp support
1198 - version in version.h fixed :))) [Pontscho]
1199 - inttypes.h moved to DOCS/ (copy back to the root if you need it)
1200 - depth calculation in vo_init() changed (Pontscho's version couldn't
1201 make difference between 15 and 16bpp)
1202 - x11 driver now uses vo_init() instead of get_depth()
1203 - yuv2mmx: 15bpp not really supported -> removed from list, now
1204 conversion is done (well) by the C code -> MPEG play in 15bpp works!
1205 - avi playing support added in 15bpp (memcpy)
1206 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (C 15->16 converter by me)
1207 - avi playing support added in 16bpp (MMX 15->16 converter by Strepto)
1208 - libvo/x11: yuv2rgb used MMX code on non-MMX CPUs too!!! fixed...
1209 - all x11 modes tested (and mpeg/24bpp byteorder fixed):
1210 MPEG: AVI/VfW:
1211 15bpp C convert memcpy
1212 16bpp MMX/C convert MMX/C convert
1213 24bpp C convert memcpy
1214 32bpp MMX/C convert memcpy / C conv.
1215 => now all the movie types are viewable using the -o x11 driver!
1217 mplayer v0.11-pre3: Jan 5 2001
1218 mpeg fixes, fullscreen support
1219 - vertical.mpg serious libvo (x11,gl) segfaults fixed:
1220 yuv2rgb_mmx requires one more lines that vertical image size...
1221 fixed (allocating memory for width*(height+1)). [bugreport: Gabucino]
1222 - Pontscho's fullscreen patch applied!
1223 Using option -fs will maximize window size (for all resizeable drivers
1224 including mga!) and disable window decorations (x11,Xv,gl only)
1225 - simple inttypes.h included for libc5 (and glibc2.0 too?) users
1226 - homepage updates (links changed ftp->http)
1228 mplayer v0.11-pre2: Jan 4 2001
1229 better user messages, mp3 codec selection, demuxer changes
1230 - w32codec.zip restored at the FTP site (somehow it damaged...)
1231 - added version.h, and used its content everywhere
1232 - 'premature end-of-file' problem fixed: freeing audio buffers and
1233 setting d_audio->id=-2 if has_audio==0 [bugreport by Dmitri Pogosyan]
1234 - some more messages added if verbose>=1
1235 - demuxer.c: error message printed if A or V chunk buffer is full
1236 'mplayer test.avi -aid -2' still not works without option '-nosound'
1237 - adding new config.h option to set default MP3 audio codec (mpg123/l3codeca)
1238 ./configure selects mp3lib only if you have 3Dnow [idea: Gabucino]
1239 - automatic fallback to mp3lib/mpg123 if l3codeca.acm can't be loaded/inited
1241 mplayer v0.11-pre1:
1242 AVI sync fixes
1243 - AVI audio seeking improvements: now using nBlockAlign value to seek
1244 inside the chunk, so divx audio works without big delays!!!
1245 - AVI PTS calculation modified: counting video PTS when skip_video_frames>0
1246 so new audio PTS values will be correct. Solved many sync probs!
1247 - A-V sync with AVI files fixed!
1248 Now only the Desperado-trailer has 1.0 sec delay after seeking.
1249 - fixed AVI sync in -bps mode too! :) (perfect except that Desperado avi)
1251 mplayer v0.10: Jan 1 2001 "The new year" release!
1252 - testing
1253 - docs changed
1254 - it's time to release and remove the old buggy 0.09 version...
1255 - release!!!
1257 mplayer v0.10-pre8: libvo/x11 changes
1258 - libvo: x11/xv driver separated to x11 and xv drivers
1259 - libvo: DUMMY_VO_FUNC removed from driver sources
1260 - libvo: default driver order changed, because some users with software-only
1261 opengl though that this 'slow' player can only play at 1-3fps :)
1263 mplayer v0.10-pre7: Dec 31 2000
1264 libmpeg2 interface changes, display size/area changes, AVI fixes
1265 - libmpeg2/decode.c modified:
1266 - removed unused OMS and mpeg2dec stuff
1267 - decode_data rewritten, now works like parse_es.c
1268 => doesn't copy any data -> faster and less memory usage
1269 - mplayer.c sends code 0x1FF after every frame, so libmpeg2 knows
1270 when has to display it
1271 - mplayer.c: in_frame flag fixes, didn't work well with mpeg2 streams
1272 (because there is a 0x1B2 chunk between 0x100 and 0x101)
1273 - 'picture' changed from static to shmem-allocated
1274 -> better picture after codec restart (tested with JapAd.mpg)
1275 -> keep information of the header changes (after init)
1276 - mpeg image size changed, now only the real part of frame is displayed
1277 (no more green strip at the bottom)
1278 - picture struct: new fields: display_picture_width/height
1279 - image buffer allocation (shmem) is done by decode.c instead of libvo
1280 - new option: -xy <value> (resize both x/y direction)
1281 if value<=8 -> x_scale = y_scale = value
1282 else -> x_size=value y_size=aspectratio*x_size
1283 - mplayer.c: video output moved out from avi/mpg init sections and
1284 now it's common code (added movie_size_x/y variables and out_fmt global)
1285 - new keys:
1286 ESC => quit
1287 + and - => adjust audio delay +- 0.1 second
1288 k => kill/restart the mpeg codec process (for testing)
1289 - codec control interface changed: wait for syncword after (re)start
1290 to avoid receiving old frames => it's stable again!
1291 - removed (now unused) allocate/free image buffer code from libvo
1292 - mplayer: new internal variable for video format: has_video
1293 0 = none (unused yet)
1294 1 = mpeg 1/2 video
1295 2 = win32/VfW video codec
1296 - config.h has defaults for bps-based AVI sync and ALSA timer code options:
1297 #undef AVI_SYNC_BPS => now it's disabled by default!!! use -bps to enable
1298 #define ALSA_TIMER => now it's enabled by default!!! use -noalsa to dis.
1299 - help updated
1300 - prints max compressed framesize at exit (both avi & mpeg)
1301 - AVI audio seeking fixed: some ACM codecs (divx audio and ms-adpcm)
1302 can't seek inside a chunk, they are only able to play whole chunks.
1303 Current audio seeking has changed to seek inside the chunk only if the
1304 codec supports it (only internal codecs and ACM/mp3 allows it).
1305 - AVI: audio delay correction if can't seek inside the chunk
1307 mplayer v0.10-pre6: Dec 24 2000 "Xmas edition"
1308 mpeg signal & EOF fixes
1309 - ./configure: k6_mtrr (2.4.test11+) added [Pontscho]
1310 - `term destroys if mplayer (mpg) called from mc.ext` bug fixed:
1311 added sighandler to the 3rd process (mpeg codec) to avoid sig. recursion
1312 - better output at exit (handled now by exit_player())
1313 - mpeg EOF problem (codec restart) fixed: added EOF detection to parse_es.c
1314 - internal flag 'current_module' added to get more info at segfaults
1315 (contains module number where the segfault occured)
1316 - audio detection changed: using afm=4 (Win32/ACM) for MP3 audio (AVI files)
1317 (you MUST have l3codeca.acm at /usr/lib/win32, or you have to use '-afm 1')
1319 mplayer v0.10-pre5: Dec 22 2000
1320 flipping fixed
1321 - AVI image flipping reworked:
1322 - new flag: avi_header.flipped, TRUE if upside-down
1323 - image flipping code removed/disabled from libvo modules
1324 - duplicate flip_page() calls removed (overload with x11 and mga)
1325 - aLaw audio codec (AVI id 0x06) added (uses code from xanim source)
1327 mplayer v0.10-pre4: ???
1328 test release, small fixes
1329 - video_out driver <-> codec incompatibility message changed
1330 - fixed the config.format bug in drivers/mga_vid_test, so it works again!
1331 [thanks to David Whysong]
1332 - libmpeg2 upgraded
1334 mplayer v0.10-pre3: Dec 10 2000
1335 test release, verbose mode, new docs
1336 - new option: -v = increment verbose level
1337 (debug printf's changed to verbose level-dependent)
1338 - default level: 0, only some informal output
1339 - init debug: 1, some basic debug infos, avi header, function values
1340 - player debug: 2, print avi indexes, chunk inputs, more debug infos
1341 - parser debug: 3, prints everything related to input parsers
1342 to increment verbose level, use multiple -v options (-v -v -v for level-3)
1343 - bitrate calculation for AVI files
1344 - README rewritten, added Troubleshooting and Bugreports sections
1345 - TVout directory added (only the scripts)
1347 mplayer v0.10-pre2: Dec 8 2000
1348 bugfix test release, bps-sync enabled
1349 - avi: supporting both 0-based and movi-based index types (autodetect)
1350 - avi: tested with VBR audio: plays well with -mc 0 option, seek doesn't
1351 work yet [thanks to Alan Chen for testfile]
1352 - avi: A-V sync to avg. byte/sec implemented (again) and enabled by default
1353 (disable with -nobps if you want)
1354 - ./configire: 3rd name ('kni') of the P3 added. Where is the compatibility?
1355 - useless '\' removed from libac3/Makefile [Otvos Ferenc]
1357 mplayer v0.10-pre1: Dec 5 2000
1358 test release, players merged!!!
1359 - avip and mpegp has been merged to a single binary called 'mplayer'
1360 - file type detection (AVI/MPEG-PS/MPEG-ES/Other)
1361 - no redundant code (common code for common jobs)
1362 - big format-dependent codes moved to functions (separated files)
1363 - better error messages, removed some debug stuff, code cleanups
1364 - old libmpeg2 version removed from source tree
1365 - help texts merged (help_avi+help_mpg -> help_mp)
1366 - new options: -x <x> -y <y> = scale image (if selected driver supports)
1367 if value<=8 then image size will be multiplied by value, otherwise
1368 image size will be scaled to <value> pixels.
1369 For example:
1370 2x ZOOM: mplayer -x 2 -y 2 test.mpg
1371 800x600: mplayer -x 800 -y 600 test.mpg
1372 [default values are still configurable at compile-time, see config.h]
1373 - TV project (not finished) codebase added (see tvision.c, or: make tvision)
1375 mplayer v0.09: Dec 5 2000
1376 Beta release [same as 0.09-pre3]
1377 - version changed in the files
1378 - docs updated
1380 mplayer v0.09-pre3: Dec 3 2000
1381 bugfix test-release, X11 support testing
1382 - fixed the if [ -z $pparam ] bug in ./configure [Christian Birchinger]
1383 - many changes in AVI seek code, resulting near-perfect seeking now!
1384 current method calc absolute audio position, so with VBR audio it
1385 doesn't work yet...
1386 - avip: Xv support (YUY2 image format)
1387 - avip: X11 support (24 & 32 bpp only, BGR format)
1388 I need a very fast 15->16bpp converter for 16bpp support... anyone helps?
1390 mplayer v0.09-pre2:
1391 bugfix test-release
1392 - removed unnecessary code from libmpeg2/header.c
1393 Walken told me that standard mpg/vob streams must NOT use framerate
1394 and bitrate extension... and the ext. id check is done by the caller.
1395 - CRC support to mp3lib's mpeg audio layer-2 decoder
1396 thanks for bugreport & testfile to Samson
1398 mplayer v0.09-pre1: Dec 1 2000
1399 bugfix test-release
1400 - imported new libmpeg2 files (under testing...)
1401 - GL renderer flickering bug fixed (MMX missing emms() between yuv2rgb and

1405 mplayer v0.08: Nov 27 2000
1406 Index support, avi seeking, DLL loader fix, compilation fixes
1407 - Added support for chunk index usage (disable with -noidx option)
1408 - Removed code optimization flags from loader/Makefile because
1409 it segfaults if compile optimized code (it does some hacks with
1410 pointers, maybe the reordered code confuses it)
1411 - added new tool called aviparse (read and check avi file structure)
1412 - indexed and raw chunk info comparing, bad chunks dropped
1413 - termcap usage is optional (for those debian users without termcap)
1414 - #if HAVE_* fixed (to #ifdef HAVE_*)
1415 - ./configure supports new /proc/cpuinfo (2.4.0-test11)
1416 - sse is called 'sse' again
1417 - 'flags' field renamed to 'features'
1418 - Xv benchmark results added to DOCS/SPEED
1419 - avi seeking (and other goodies, pause etc) implemented
1420 no PTS resync after seek yet.
1421 - default video_out driver changed from 'mga' to the first available driver
1422 new driver priority: mga_vid, opengl, x11
1424 mplayer v0.07: Nov 21 2000
1425 Easier compile
1426 - Added Pontscho's ./configure script (it's modified a lot)
1427 - Updated makefiles, and tested a lot :)
1428 - Updated DOCS/INSTALL
1430 mplayer v0.06: Nov 20 2000
1431 Better codec selection
1432 - avi audio&video codec selection moved to new codecs.c file,
1433 loader/driver.c and loader/afl.c modified for this
1434 - yuv support fixed, codecs.c setup flags to handle yuv properly
1435 yuv works fine with divx, mpeg4, cvid, and upside-down iv50
1436 - DOCS/INSTALL updated
1437 - DOCS/SPEED updated, DivX benchmarks added
1439 mplayer v0.05: Nov 18 2000
1440 Merged with MPEGplayer 0.90pre6, first public release of AVI player
1441 - code merged with mpegplayer, new Makefile, some small modifications
1442 - docs updated and moved to DOCS
1444 mplayer v0.04: Nov 17 2000
1445 YUV (yuy2) support with divx 3.11 dll, some code cleanup, preview-release
1447 mplayer v0.03: Nov 14 2000
1449 mplayer v0.01: Nov 11 2000
1450 first preview version based on new MPEGplayer's codebase.

1454 Mpeg codec was libmpeg2 (mpeg2dec) by Aaron Holtzman & Michel
1455 Lespinasse. It's great, optimized very fast C code with perfect
1456 image quality and 100% MPEG standard conformance.
1458 mpg12play v0.5-v0.87: Sep 28-Oct 20, 2000
1459 Mpeg codec replaced with DVDview by Dirk Farin, it was a great
1460 stuff, but it was slow and was written in C++ (I hate C++!!!)
1462 mpg12play v0.1-v0.3: Sep 22-25, 2000
1463 The first try, hacked together in a half hour! I've used libmpeg3
1464 from www.heroinewarrior.com up to the version 0.3, but there were
1465 image quality and speed problems with it.
