一个很好用的MPEG1/4的开源编码器

libFAME version 0.9.1

DESCRIPTION
===========

	libFAME is a library for fast (real-time) MPEG video encoding, written
in C and assembly. libFAME currently allows encoding of fast MPEG-1 video, 
as well as MPEG-4 (OpenDivX compatible) rectangular and arbitrary shaped video.
	This is the first public release of that library, for beta testing.

HOMEPAGE
========

	libFAME homepage can be found, along with FAME, at:
		 http://fame.sourceforge.net

	Check for latest news, updates, FAQ and full documentation.

        See file "AUTHORS" for author info.

REQUIREMENTS
============

	Nothing special.
	Acceleration is provided for processors with MMX support.

INSTALLATION/SETUP
==================

        See file "INSTALL" for installation and setup info.

USAGE
=====

	libFAME provides seven functions:
		- fame_open for creating a new session
		- fame_init for initializing a new session
		- fame_encode_frame for encoding a single frame
		- fame_close to flush remaining data and cleanup the session
		- fame_register to register components to the library
		- fame_unregister to unregister components from the library
		- fame_get_object to retrieve a component from the library
	See man pages for details.

	Also see the recmpeg and fame utilities (available on the home page)
	for an example of how to use libFAME.

FILE FORMATS
============

        The output format of the encoded frames are either MPEG-1 compliant
	video bitstreams (default), or MPEG-4 Dec 1999 (ISO/IEC 14496-2/AMD1)
	compliant video bitstreams.

        MPEG-1 video can be read by any MPEG-1 player.
	MPEG-4 rectangular video can be read by the 'decore' decoder from
	OpenDivX or any MPEG-4 video player.
	MPEG-4 video of arbitrary shape can be read by any MPEG-4 video player
	supporting shape decoding (OpenDivX doesn't currently).
