Homework assignments are due at the beginning of class.
As you probably know, often answers to HW questions depend heavily on initial
assumptions made about the problem. You must clearly state any assumptions made
and add explanatory comments as needed to clarify your work.

mpeg_play and mpeg_stat are provided as a part of the Berkeley MPEG Tools Distribution (http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/frame/research/mpeg), and is the first widely-distributed software video decoder for MPEG-1 video. Although you can still find source codes and other useful infomation this site is no longer supported.
These guidelines for downloading and compiling mpeg_play and mpeg_stat was provided by my former TA and Ph.D. student, Weetit Wanalertlak.
Downloading mpeg_play and mpeg_stat
The new links to mpeg_play and the mpeg_stat are given below:
ftp://ftp.42.org/pub/OLD/m/mpeg_play-2.4-patched-src.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.scn.rain.com/pub/graphics/mpeg_stat-2.2.tar.Z
Compiling mpeg_stat
These have been successfully compiled on Ubuntu 7.1, Redhat 5.1 and MacOS. They should compile on any Linux and other Unix systems.
The instruction for compiling mpeg_stat is given below:
(1) Download the mpeg_stat-2.2.tar.Z from the given link.
(2) Unzip and untar the file using command
gunzip -c mpeg_stat-2.2.tar.Z | tar xvf -
Afterwards you should have mpeg_stat source code in the "mpeg_stat" directory.
(3) cd mpeg_stat/
(4) Compile it by typing "make"
Compiling mpeg_play
The instruction for compiling mpeg_play is a bit more tricky because some changes have to made to the library in the makefile.
(1) Download the mpeg_play-2.4-patched-src.tar.gz from the given link.
(2) Unzip and untar the file using command
gunzip -c mpeg_play-2.4-patched-src.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Afterwards you should have mpeg_play source code in "mpeg_play" directory.
(3) cd mpeg_play
(4) Prepare the makefile by typing command "cp Makefile.proto Makefile"
(5) Open Makefile with any text editor and change the line 50 from
CFLAGS = -O3 -DNDEBUG -DNONANSI_INCLUDES -DSH_MEM $(INCLUDEDIR)
to
CFLAGS = -O3 -DLITTLE_ENDIAN_ARCHITECTURE -DNDEBUG -DNONANSI_INCLUDES -DSH_MEM $(INCLUDEDIR)
If you try to compile it on Mac OS, you may need to also change line 99 from
LIBS = -L/usr/lib/X11 -lXext -lX11
to
LIBS = -L/usr/lib/X11 -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lX11
These changes will depend on your machine's configuration. Hopefully, this covers everything.
7) Compile it by type "make"
If you try to run mpeg_play and get the error message "-requires 8 bit display", this is because your XWindow is running in 24 bit color mode and it does not know how to emulate 8-bit color. You may have to run mpeg_play with parameter "-dither color".
