$medium_font Libmpeg3 supports advanced editing and manipulation of MPEG streams. MPEG is normally a last mile distribution format but with libmpeg3 you can edit it like a production format. Unless you have a need for MPEG editing and copying, you're better off using a consumer library like FFMPEG.

Libmpeg3 is primarily a supporting library for Cinelerra. It supports all of the nonstandard operations Cinelerra needs. Libmpeg3 provides a uniform front end for a large number of the MPEG formats used in HDTV broadcasting. It decodes

MPEG-1 Layer II Audio
MPEG-1 Layer III Audio
MPEG-2 Layer III Audio
MPEG-1 program streams
MPEG-2 program streams
MPEG-2 transport streams
AC3 Audio
MPEG-2 Video
MPEG-1 Video
IFO files
VOB files

Now the good news. It can read the MPEG exports from Cinelerra.

A table of contents feature allows it to seek with frame accuracy regardless of whether the footage has timecode or not, or whether the timecode is contiguous. Also included are utilities for stream extraction, format querying, and copying.

$large_font DOWNLOAD

The package is available from the download page.

REVISION HISTORY

1.7 - Frames are cached when reading the first frame after a seek. This allows faster reverse playback.
