libmpdemux - MPlayer's input/demuxer layer  (C) A'rpi / MPlayer team
==========================================

NOTE: It is not in the final form yet! API may change...

Stream input layer:
===================
#include "stream.h"

Supported modes:
- file (by 2048 byte sectors) including STDIN (if filename "-")
- VCD disk (by 2324 byte mode2 sectors)
- network (buggy, mpg/avi download-like streaming works, asf not)
- DVD disk using with libdvdread 0.8 or 0.9

Note: optional CACHE layer with read-ahead and seek-back buffer (not finished)

Demuxer layer:
==============
#include "demuxer.h"

Supported formats:
- MPEG (PS,PES,VOB,ES), including VCD disk image files (.ISO/.BIN)
- AVI, with or without index, interleaved and non-interleaved formats
- ASF v1.0 (aka .wmv/.wma)
- Quicktime MOV - including compressed headers, CBR and VBR

Others:
=======
#include "stheader.h" - audio and video stream structs used by header parsers
#include "parse_es.h" - Mpeg ES stream parser

Using it outside of mplayer tree:
=================================
It uses a few things from mplayer tree:
config.h - system-dependent options, see ./configure
mp_msg.c/.h - mplayer's message printing code - copy it or impement your own
help_mp.h - error/info message texts
bswap.h - little/big endian conversion

If you use it in your project - please tell me!
