Well, there is the mpeg player code we used at Interval(RIP) that might
be sitting somewhere around, BUT I have to warn that it was based on
some university demo code that was sufficiently buggy and ugly that it
makes windows look stable. We did manage to get tolerable pictures on
the then high-end 200+MHz PCs, and even on the custom ARM hardware.
The real problem with anything like MPEG-2 is the horrible amount of cpu
it absorbs. Oh, and the propensity for breaking up into psycho-Mondrian
blocking.
