Video Top-Level Contents

The video-related contents of this CD are in a number of sub-directories according to source (usually the manufacturer or author).  I have grouped the contents under sub-headings for content, streaming media applications, (other) encoders and decoders, and other tools.  Some material was not available in time for the CD, or there were other restrictions.  In these cases I provide a link to the source.  Each link takes you to a ReadMe in the appropriate directory with additional details.

Video Content

At one stage I had planned to include both 525/60 and 625/50 material, but I soon ran out of space.  In fact, the purpose of the material on the CD is experimentation, so I expect the material to be used on a computer rather than a television.  In this case the 525/60 material should still be useful in 50 Hz countries.

Artbeats Content

Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine contributed two uncompressed CIF clips that make good test pieces.

Standard MPEG bitstreams are always good to have.  Tektronix maintains a large collection on its ftp site, and permitted distribution on the CD.

Microsoft contributed applications and content.

Other Encoders and Decoders

A proprietary codec and a wavelet codec, plus access to a JVT / H.264 / MPEG-4 Part 10 codec!

Vsofts 

Other Tools

Two programs help manipulate, assemble and disassemble AVI files.

AVI_Constructor

AVI_Edit

And this analyzer program is a great way to learn about MPEG.  It's not on this CD, but details are here on future availability.
