MPEG-FAQ 4.0:

Mpeg2ply

[The June 30 edition of mpeg2w11 does not contain encoder port]

                    MPEG Software Simulation Group codecs
                             for Windows 32s 
                           (MPEG-L@netcom.com)


MPEG2DEC.EXE and MPEG2ENC.EXE are Windows 32s ports with integrated
display functions of the MPEG Software Simulation Group's programs. 

MPEG2PLY.EXE is the port of mpeg2play---Stefan Eckart's variation of
mpeg2decode which optimizes speed through fast decoding methods such as
approximation techniques, loop unravelling, et al.

All Win32s programs were ported with Microsoft Visual C++.  Only the
main() program and display files (mpeg2dec.c, mpeg2enc.c, or mpeg2ply.c) 
differ from the standard "Unix distribution."

If you do not have a 32-bit Windows environment (e.g. Win 4.0 Chicago,
Windows NT), but plain old Windows 16 (e.g. Windows 3.1), yet you do
possess either a 386, 486, or Pentium-based PC, you can download the
Microsoft 32-bit extension program, "Win32s" from the Microsoft FTP
site:

About the windows icon:
The 32x32 4-bit icon for MPEG2DEC.EXE and MPEG2ENC.EXE is a silhouette
of Dr. Leonardo Chiariglione (CSELT, Italy), none other than our
co-founder and exhaulted lifetime Convenor of MPEG.
