MPEG1 and MPEG2 video decoder library

libmpeg2 is a library which can decode MPEG1 and MPEG2 video streams.

The main features in libmpeg2 are:

 * Conformance - libmpeg2 is able to decode all mpeg streams that conform to
   certain restrictions. For streams that follow these restrictions, libmpeg2
   is probably 100% conformant to the mpeg standards - and there's a pretty
   extensive test suite to check this.

 * Speed - there has been huge efforts there, and libmpeg2 is probably the
   fastest library around for what it does.

 * Portability - most of the code is written in C, and when platform-specific
   optimizations are used, there always is a generic C routine to fall back
   on.  This should be portable to all architectures - at least it is known
   people run this code on x86, ppc, sparc, arm and sh4.

 * Reuseability - libmpeg2 is not intended to include any project-specific
   code, but it should still include enough features to be used by very
   diverse projects.

This package contains the libmpeg2 shared libraries.
