Hi all!

I saw pure jpeg decoder was announced recently and I decided to 
publish pure D mpeg2 decoder that I wrote just for myself, with 
study aims.


I didn't test it exhaustively, so don't judge me for bugs)

Currently it supports only progressive sequences with no B 
frames.


As for performance, it's 5 times slower than ffmpeg 
implementation, optimizations are required.

Does someone want to write pure D AVC or HEVC decoder/encoder?  
=)


P.S. It sometimes has some artifacts, I didn't try to fix them.


Video decoder and encoder will be really helpful to me :)

Does it or do you plan to super decoding and and encoding 
programmatically (using built-in APIs)?

Its funny how he took existing sources from my OS 
https://github.com/Rikarin/Trinix
rewrite it during stream session on Livecoding and get more 
popularity than my OS.


Do you want me to remove all the code that is influenced by your 
code in the kernel and rewrite from scratch?


Because I don't want my project to contain illegal/controversial 
code.

Just wanted to congratulate our 4 Google Summer of Code 
students who have now officially all passed their mid-term 
evaluations.


So congrats to Lodovico, Wojciech, Jeremy, and Sebastian for 
making it this far, and thanks to the mentors Robert, Ilya, 
Adam and Russel for keeping them on the right track.


The students are producing some good work and I am excited 
about the impact they will have on the community going forward.
