[Libmpeg2-announce] mpeg2dec 0.2.1 released

[Michel L. <wa...@zo...>]

After a long delay, mpeg2dec 0.2.1 has finally been released

Two major new features: First, a much higher tolerance to corrupted
streams. Instead of just segfaulting, we should now be able to keep
going after errors. There is no test suite for this feature yet though.

Second, the altivec optimizations provide a huge speedup (more than
2.5x) on ppc g4 machines.

High definition video streams are now supported.

There is also native support for compiling using VC++.

And, the libvo interface has been slightly extended so people can more
easily make use of the various mpeg flags.

This version keeps the same API as version 0.2.0, so it should be
quite easy to move forward. This will probably not be true in the
future though (there is a new API planned for version 0.3.0)

Cheers,
