1. Introduction

exportvideo/avi2mpegpatch

Coded by Roman Hochleitner (roman at mars tuwien ac at)
and Alexander Oelzant (alexander at oelzant priv at) with
help from Josef Schmid and thanks to Sid (Andreas Varga) for
the frames counter and extensive testing against all types
of input sources (including .vobs).

This started as a simple patch against Adam Williams' mpeg2_movie
to utilize libavifile by Eugene Smith, however the project got out of
hand and currently supports Romans Nuppelvideo file format for input
and the MJPEGtools mpeg2enc YUV4MPEG format for output.

2. Mission

Originally the projects intent was not to become a new package, but only
to provide the previously missing direct avi->mpeg conversion for the
GNU/unix/linux community until the core feature (linking against
libaviplay) was integrated into the main encoder, but this goal has
been abandoned. We currently hope to enable as many encoders as
possible with the avi/nuv/qt-reading functionality (ffmpeg, sampeg,
...)
