ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Summary of New Features ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

I received a great deal of quality feedback from dozens of people that tried
the first release of PMMPEG.  Here is a summary of new features that have been
implemented based on your suggestions.  Please continue to send suggestions and
bug reports, it will help to make PMMPEG better for everyone.

Click on the links below to get more information on each feature.

o Toolbar with tape controls (Play/Stop/Rewind/Step/Size/Color/Loop)

o Accept MPEG filename on command line and automatically play it.

o Command line options for playback size, color and looping.

o Configuration data saved between runs.

o INSTALL.CMD will create a PMMPEG desktop object

o INSTALL.CMD will associate PMMPEG with all *.MPG files

o Drag/Drop MPEG movie onto PMMPEG.

o Double size playback is possible both in Color and Grayscale.

o Loading a movie decodes and displays the first valid frame.

o When the window is obscured and then revealed, the movie frame is repainted.

o New MPEG movie sites added and corrections made to list.

o File Dialog always brings up *.MPG.

o MPEG filename is now displayed in the Title bar.

o Bug fix: no more silent death problem.  PMMPEG jumps to the next frame when
  bad encoding detected.

o Bug fix: The file handle is closed when a movie fails parsing as non-MPEG
  format

o Bug fix: Popups are now displayed on fatal read/MPEG stream/parsing errors.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Suggestions for Future Releases ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Here is the list of features I was not able to add in time for this release.
If you have any more features you'd like to see, please send them to me.

I can't promise to eventually implement them all, due to constraints like time,
Berkeley decoding engine limitations, etc., but I'll do my best.

The list is in a rough order of what I think I'll concentrate on.

o Movie size and frame count in status bar along bottom of window.

o Copy frame to OS/2 bitmap file or to clipboard as OS/2 bitmap.

o Note encoding/dithering errors in status bar.

o Slideshow with pacing options / multi-movie Drag/Drop.

o REXX hooks for external control of behavior.

o Optimize decoding/dithering to improve frame rate.

o Overlap display/decode of frames to speed throughput.

o Frame back (I frame only).

o Play at encoded speed, some movies go too fast.

o Better color/256 colors/palette manager.

o Scroll bar back and forth across frames.

o Pre-parse file and then play back frames.

o Bar graph timeline.

o DCR 95 for direct video ram access.

o Full screen option.

o Audio sync.

o Make into MMPM/2 codec.

o More dithering options.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Help for Toolbar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use the buttons on the toolbar to control the playback of the movie and select
playback options.

The buttons on the toolbar have the following functions:

o The Play Button causes the movie to start playing.

o The Stop Button causes the movie to stop playing.

o The Rewind Button causes the movie to be rewound to the first frame, ready
  for a subsequent Play or Step.

o The Step Button button causes the next frame of the movie to be displayed.

The following buttons are in one of two states.

o The Small/Large Button can be either in Small or Large mode.

   - When in the Small state, the movie is played in its normal size, as
     encoded in the file.

   - When in the Large state, the movie is played at double the size encoded in
     the file.

o The Color/Gray Button can be either in Color or Grayscale mode.

   - When in the Color state, the movie is played in 128 distinct color shades.

   - When in the Gray state, the movie is played in 128 shades of gray.

o The NoLoop/Loop Button button can be either in NoLoop or Loop mode.

   - When in the NoLoop state, the movie is played once and then halts at the
     end.

   - When in the Loop state, the movie is played over and over until you click
     on the Stop button or drag and drop a new movie onto the window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. Help for Play Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Play button causes the movie to start playing.  When the movie starts
playing, the Stop button will be enabled and the Rewind and Step buttons will
be disabled.

o If there is no movie loaded, the button will be in this grayed out state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it's not currently playing, the button will be
  in this enabled state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it is currently playing, the button will be in
  this grayed out state:


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2. Help for Stop Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Stop button causes the movie to stop playing.  When the movie stops
playing, the Play, Rewind and Step buttons will be enabled.

o If there is no movie loaded, the button will be in this grayed out state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it's not currently playing, the button will be
  in this grayed out state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it is currently playing, the button will be in
  this enabled state:


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3. Help for Rewind Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Rewind button causes the movie to be rewound to the first frame, ready for
a subsequent Play or Step.

o If there is no movie loaded, the button will be in this grayed out state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it's not currently playing, the button will be
  in this enabled state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it is currently playing, the button will be in
  this grayed out state:


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4. Help for Step Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Step button causes the next frame of the movie to be displayed. If the end
of the movie is encountered, it will be rewound to the first frame and stepping
can continue without reloading the movie.

There is a known problem when using Step with IBP-Frame Movies

o If there is no movie loaded, the button will be in this grayed out state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it's not currently playing, the button will be
  in this enabled state:

o If there is a movie loaded and it is currently playing, the button will be in
  this grayed out state:


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5. Help for Small/Large Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Small/Large button toggles back and forth between playback at the normal
movie size, as encoded in the file, or at double that size.

This button defaults to Small, but can be changed by options on the command
line or the configuration data in force when this program was last shut down.

Note: You can toggle this while the movie is running and the display will
resize itself to ensure that the full movie image is visible.

You will see dramatically lower frame rates when playing the movie in Large
mode due to the quadrupled number of pixels that have to be moved around in
memory and displayed in the window.  In Large mode, the movie will appear very
"chunky" because each pixel is being magnified 4 times.  There's no way to
extract a better image out of the movie than its natural encoded size.

o When in the Small state , the movie is played in its normal size, as encoded
  in the file.

o When in the Large state, , the movie is played at double the size encoded in
  the file.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.6. Help for Color/Gray Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Color/Gray button toggles back and forth between 128 color playback and 128
shades-of-gray playback.

This button defaults to Color, but can be changed by options on the command
line or the configuration data in force when this program was last shut down.

You will usually see slightly better frame rates with Gray than with Color due
to the simpler dithering calculations.  Also, some movies have "garish" color
and selecting gray scale will make them more pleasing to the eye.

There is a problem with the Color Table when switching from color->gray or
gray->color during playback.

Note: You can toggle this while the movie is running and the display will
change to the desired color scheme.

o When in the Color state , the movie is played in 128 shades of color.

o When in the Grayscale state , the movie is played in 128 shades of gray.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.7. Help for NoLoop/Loop Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The NoLoop/Loop button toggles back and forth between playing the movie and
looping around to the start and playing again or playing the movie and stopping
at the end.

This button defaults to NoLoop, but can be changed by options on the command
line or the configuration data in force when this program was last shut down.

Note: You can toggle this while the movie is running and the movie will behave
accordingly when it hits the last frame.

o When in the NoLoop state , the movie stops when it hits the last frame.

o When in the Loop state , the movie loops around to the start and continues
  playing when it hits the last frame.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help for File ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use File to open an MPEG movie.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. Help for Open ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Open to display a window that enables you to choose an MPEG movie.

You can also drag and drop a movie from a folder onto the PMMPEG window.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Configuration Data ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PMMPEG stores information about itself when you quit so it can try to give you
the same environment the next time you run it.

o Window position on the desktop is saved and restored, even if maximized or
  minimized.

o Window size is saved and restored.

o Small/Large state is saved and restored.

o Color/Gray state is saved and restored.

o NoLoop/Loop state is saved and restored.

o The last directory path a movie is loaded from is saved and restored.

If you simply launch PMMPEG without any command line options, these values will
be loaded and used to set up the player just like it was when you quit it last.
You can use command line options which will override these saved values.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Command Line Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PMMPEG has been enhanced to take a number of options on the command line,
allowing its use as an object on the desktop or as part of a program like
Mosaic which attempts to pass the filename of an MPEG movie on the command
line.

These are the recognized command line options:

o -color Color playback, default.

o -gray Grayscale playback.

o -small Normal frame size, default.

o -large Double frame size.

o -noloop One play playback, default.

o -loop Looping playback.

o filename Filename of movie to load and play.

Note that the -color and -gray are mutually exclusive, as are -small and -large
and also -noloop and -loop.

If both of any of these pairs is listed on the command line, the one closest to
the end of the command line will take precedence.

If any of these options are specified, they will take precedence over the
information saved from the last time.  Therefore, if you want to be sure that
you get a particular option, it's better to explicitly mention it on the
command line.

If a filename or path and filename is given, the file will be loaded and play
started automatically.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.1. Help for -color option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The -color option causes PMMPEG to start up in 128 color mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.2. Help for -gray option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The -gray option causes PMMPEG to start up in 128 shades of gray mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.3. Help for -small option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The -small option causes PMMPEG to start up normal size playback mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.4. Help for -large option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The -large option causes PMMPEG to start up in double size playback mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.5. Help for -noloop option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The -noloop option causes PMMPEG to start up in play-once-and-stop mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.6. Help for -loop option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The -loop option causes PMMPEG to start up in continuous loop mode.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6.7. Help for filename option ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The filename option causes PMMPEG to load and start playing that MPEG movie
automatically.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Installation ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PMMPEG can simply be run in any of the following manners:

o On the command line, type pmmpeg with any desired options or MPEG filename.

o Double-click on the PMMPEG object on your desktop.

o Double-click on any .MPG file in any folder.

The second and third options are enabled for you if you run the INSTALL.CMD
REXX program supplied with PMMPEG.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.1. INSTALL.CMD ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

INSTALL.CMD is a REXX program that will create a PMMPEG desktop object for you
and set up an association. for any files that end in .MPG.

First make sure PMMPEG.EXE and INSTALL.CMD are located in the directory where
you are going to keep PMMPEG.EXE.  Then type INSTALL at the command line. It
will create a desktop object and make the association with all .MPG files on
your system.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.2. PMMPEG Desktop Object ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To get this feature, run the INSTALL.CMD REXX program.  This will make a PMMPEG
object on your desktop that looks like this:

If you double-click on this object, it will launch PMMPEG.  You can add any of
the command line options you like to the Parameters: field of the Program page
of its Settings notebook.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.3. .MPG Movie Association ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

To get this feature, run the INSTALL.CMD REXX program.  This will associate
PMMPEG with all files ending in .MPG on your system and change their icon to
the PMMPEG icon:

When you double-click on an MPEG movie, it will launch PMMPEG and automatically
start playing the selected movie.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Drag and Drop MPEG Movies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

PMMPEG has been designed to allow dragging MPEG movies from a folder on the
desktop to the PMMPEG window.

If you attempt to drop a non-MPEG movie (i.e. not ending in .MPG) or attempt to
drop more than one of any object, then the drop will be rejected.  You can only
drop one MPEG movie on PMMPEG at a time.

If there is no movie currently playing, then when you drop an MPEG movie it
will be automatically loaded and start playing.

If there is a movie currently playing, then that movie will stop and the new
movie will be automatically loaded and start playing.

If there is a movie currently playing, and you attempt to drop a non-MPEG movie
or more than one of any object, then the movie will stop playing. You then have
to click on the Play button to continue playing the current movie.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Help for Options ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Options to show a Status box with relevant movie statistics or get to the
standard sections of the Online Help.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.1. Help for Status ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Status to bring up the Status dialog box.  This will display the size in
pixels and real-time statistics on the number of frames processed (for each of
the I, B and P frame types) and the running frames/second value.  Click Cancel
at any time to close this dialog box.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Help for Open ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. MPEG File Info ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This program implements the standard described in the Committee Draft ISO/IEC
CD 11172 dated December 6, 1991 which is sometimes refered to as "Paris
Format."

The player expects MPEG-1 video streams only. It can not handle multiplexed
MPEG streams or video+audio streams. The player uses the paris entropy coding
table set (which we believe to be the MPEG-1 standard), but can not handle any
bitstreams that use the "berlin" entropy coding table set. Berlin data is
relatively rare so there shouldn't be too much to worry about here, but be
aware of the difference when looking for streams to play.

XING is a popular DOS/Windows-based MPEG encoder/player that does not take
advantage of P or B frames (ie, frames with motion compensation). Performance
of the player on XING data is significantly slower (half or less) than the
performance when motion compensated MPEG data is decoded.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Origin of the Code ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

o Computer Science Division-EECS, Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley. Lawrence A.
  Rowe, Ketan Patel, and Brian Smith wrote a Unix and X Windows-based MPEG
  decoder and viewer.  This program is based on their version 2.0 release.

  To get the original source, ftp to toe.cs.berkeley.edu, directory
  /pub/multimedia/mpeg/mpeg-2.0.tar.Z.

  These folks have set up several mailing lists for their code.

   - [e-mail]

     General information on the decoder for everyone interested   should be
     sent to this list.  This should become active after   11/20/92

   - [e-mail]

     Requests to join or leave the list should be sent to this   address. The
     subject line should contain the single word   ADD or DELETE.

   - [e-mail]

     Problems, questions, or patches should be sent to this address.

o Tom Lane of the Independent JPEG Group provided the basic inverse DCT code
  used by the Berkeley player. ([e-mail])

o John Webb contributed the Toolbar code and provided invaluable help when
  things wouldn't work right.

o I, Mike Brown, ported the Unix/X code to OS/2 and Presenation Manager and
  "integerized" the heavy floating point in the inverse DCT routine.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. Movie Sites ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

You can get MPEG movies from computers around the world.  The well-known ones I
have found are:

  o emx.cc.utexas.edu         /pub/mnt/mpeg

  o s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu   /pub/multimedia/mpeg

  o havefun.stanford.edu      /pub/mpeg

  o phoenix.oulu.fi           /pub/mpeg

  o calypso-2.oit.unc.edu     /pub/multimedia/animation/mpeg

  o sunsite.unc.edu           /pub/multimedia/animation/mpeg

  o seds.lpl.arizona.edu      /pub/anim

  o venice.mps.ohio-state.edu /anime-manga/anim-and-sound/anim/mpeg

  o burrito.raleigh.ibm.com   /pub/pics/mpeg


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Known Bugs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

These bugs are known and are on the list of things to fix in the next release.

o Color Table

o Bad Encodings

o IBP-Frame Movies

o Playback Speed


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16.1. Color Table Problem ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

When switching from color to gray or gray to color while an I-Frame-only movie
is playing, you will see a 1 frame distortion of colors. This is a restriction
on the way the color table is handled and the proper display of the image will
pick up after the color table change completely makes its way through the
application.  On IBP-Frame movies, it can take a few frames for the image to
correct itself, generally until an I frame is encountered.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16.2. Bad Encodings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Some movies have encoding problems.  PMMPEG tries to handle these as best as
possible (for example skipping corrupted frames) and continue playing the
movie.  Some errors are not recoverable and some will cause many pop-ups to
appear on the screen.  I will work to reduce the number of pop-ups in these
situations and handle all problems more gracefully.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16.3. IBP-Frame Movies ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

There are a couple of problems with IBP-Frame movies.

o IBP-Frame movies play slower than I would expect and I believe there is some
  underlying porting problem that's causing them to play this slowly.

o You must click many times on the Step button to actually step one true frame.
  This is probably releated to the slow performance above, as it's clearly
  taking far too many passes at the data to produce one frame.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16.4. Playback Speed ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Movie playback is not real-time.  Faster CPU and video cards will help to
improve the situation and internal optimization is ongoing.  Use grayscale to
get the fastest playback, at the expense of losing color.


ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Author Contact ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
