+The MPEG Library is a collection of C routines to decode MPEG movies
+and dither them in a variety of colour schemes. Most of the code in
+the library comes directly from the Berkely MPEG player, an
+X11-specific implementation that works fine, but suffers from minimal
+documentation and a lack of modularity. A front end to the Berkeley
+decoding engine was developed by Greg Ward at the Montreal
+Neurological Institute in May/June 1994 to facilitate the development
+of an MPEG player specifically for Silicon Graphics workstations; the
+decoding engine together with the MNI front end constitute the MPEG
+Library.
