This paper discusses the design and development of a sofware MPEG decoder, which presumably is the one that can be found in other links to the Berkely MPEG group. Paper available in both Postcript and PDF.

According to the abstract, this is the first paper to describe realtime decompression of an MPEG stream at 30 fps. It’s timestamped 9/98, but I believe the paper was published in 1994.

Info-ZIP is a diverse, Internet-based workgroup of about 20 primary authors and over one hundred beta-testers, formed in 1990 as a mailing list hosted by Keith Petersen on the original SimTel site at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.

Info-ZIP’s purpose is to provide free, portable, high-quality versions of the Zip and UnZip compressor-archiver utilities that are compatible with the DOS-based PKZIP by PKWARE, Inc.

Due to the overwhelming number of requests for JPEG code that works with Borland C++Builder we have put out an Alpha version of the Colosseum Builders’ Image Library for C++. The latest version includes encoders and decoders for JPEG, GIF, Windows BMP, XBM, and PNG. It also includes an interface to VCL so that these image formats can be used at design-time with C++Builder. The current version now works with MSVC++.

Clipstream is a product that compresses audio to either 20Kbps or 32 Kpbs, depending on the speed of the connection. A java applet on a web page is used to decode the stream and play it over the sound card of the target computer. The web site has demos of several types of sound. Update: Clipstream has java applets for both video and audio!

Clipstream makes a java applet that gives web browsers the ability to play streaming audio without any special plugins or apps.

Source to a zip decompressor that runs on the Commodore 64! Better yet, this decompressor has source for more than the typical deflate method - it includes the old-school PKWare algorithms: Store, Reduce, Shrink, Implode.
