Someone must have done one of these in Open Source Land somewhere (?????)
On the Interval Pad project we use a free set of sourcecode from berkeley (I think). It was truly dreadful code, but we (mainly John Hylands) did manage to get not-too-bad video out of it eventually. I think the hardest part was adapting it to collaborate with Squeaks file stream stuff.
Do any of us ex-trios have the code lying somewhere?

Thanks Tim --
I wonder if you or John could look at the mpeg code mentioned by Karl (below):

A more useful plugin to both encode and decode, and use the free codecs is a bigger job but most of is there. Wish I knew C...

Anybody picked up this or want to take a joint stab at it ? I would like to be able to do some crossplatform video playback etc. so I need this plugin...
My current setup is a Mac, macos 8.6. I have no c compiler available. One solution is MPW from Apple, but I doubt anything will compile there without major rewrite of stuff. I can however install LinuxPPC and get the tools needed there. This would be my first plugin writing so the help of someone is very welcome. Anybody have any suggestions ?

Yes I'm doing something on this right now. I've numerous mpeg players apart on my desktop and have built two candidates for Squeak as plugins to decode mpeg2 video and hopefully mpeg2-level 3 (aka mpg3) audio. I should have a better understanding of the choices and how they work later this week, and I am hoping to build a crude plugin early in the week.
Anybody have any suggestions ?

This is great news:-) I'm looking forward to test this. Let me know if I can be any help.
