[Gtkpod-devel] New mp4v2 library

[Todd Z. <tm...@po...>]

Hi,

I'm passing this along from Edward Groenendaal, one of the project
owers for an updated mp4v3 library (based on the code from mpeg4ip),
via the #gtkpod channel on freenode.  To quote:

    Is libgpod relying on libmp4v2?

    Because you may want to consider using
    http://code.google.com/p/mp4v2/ for your library.

    Since it is maintained.

    More iTunes meta-data support is being added soon, plus we fixed
    all the errors in sizing of atoms that was evident in the latest
    version from mpeg4ip.

    Also - more importantly we will be adding a "loose" and "strict"
    parsing mode for MP4Read() so that the parsing doesn't bail out
    whenever it encounters a badly created file - which is a lot of
    them.

Being maintained seems like a good quality to have in software
dependencies. ;)
