Pure assembly MPEG player

Applications development, KoOS API questions
  • and how about licensing?

    (see http://menuetos.net/dvd.htm)

    Does anybody know the details about mpeg license?

  • Well, I don't know about license issues, I believe that you can refer to FFmpeg ones...

    BTW it would be really great to have a pure assembly video decoder, IMHO.

    If you're scared about MPEG-LA, then support royality-free/open source codecs:
    • Vorbis for lossy audio (THE mp3 competitor - check out the Ogg Vorbis acceleration project that introduced asm-optimizations into the codec);
    • FLAC for lossless audio;
    • Theora for streaming video (the "comparable" XviD competitor, included in the next FireFox version);
    • Dirac for HD video (the h264 competitor);
    • Huffyuv for lossless video;
    Note that assembly implementations/optimizations of those codecs would benefit the whole community too.
  • Who is online
