coreavc-for-linux - Google Code CoreAVC is a proprietary Windows codec for H.264 video decoding. It is much faster than any currently available open-source codecs. Being multi-threaded, and able to play PAFF streams, it can handle HD H.264/AVC streams that no freely available codecs can. CoreAVC is reasonably priced at ~$15, but it is Windows only. Various patches are available here to enable loading CoreAVC into 32bit and 64bit linux players. By kfvdin Public bookmarkswith codeccoreavcdecodingfasterh.264proprietaryvideowindows
libmpeg2 - a free MPEG-2 video stream decoder libmpeg2 is a free library for decoding mpeg-2 and mpeg-1 video streams. It is released under the terms of the GPL license.The main goals in libmpeg2 development are:Conformance - libmpeg2 is able to decode all mpeg streams that conform to certain restrictions: "constrained parameters" for mpeg-1, and "main profile" for mpeg-2. In practice, this is what most people are using. For streams that follow these restrictions, we believe libmpeg2 is 100% conformant to the mpeg standards - and we have a pretty extensive test suite to check this.Speed - there has been huge efforts there, and we believe libmpeg2 is the fastest library around for what it does. Please tell us if you find a faster one ! With typical video streams as found on DVD's, and doing o... By kfvdin Public bookmarkswith libmpeg2freelibrarydecodingmpeg-2mpeg-1videostreams
