Inst. Computer Science and Eng., Beaverton Lines: 123 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Approved: usenet@net.bio.net Distribution: inet Message-ID: <9504291412.AA29450@alex.x.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net The Distributed Systems Research Group of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology is pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 of its distributed real-time MPEG video audio player. The player is publicly available via anonymous ftp from: ftp.cse.ogi.edu (129.29.20.2) in /pub/dsrg/Player/. or through following WWW pointer: http://cse.ogi.edu/DISC/projects/synthetix/Player/ Please find a copy of the README file below. For people at OGI CSE, the executable form of the player server and client programs, and the AudioFile servers are already available on architectures SunOS4 for Sparc, HPUX, Solaris 2.4 for x86, and Solaris 2.3 for Sparc. please see file 'README.OGI' in above ftp directory for more information. Best wishes, Shanwei Cen Distributed Systems Research Group Department of Computer Science Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology scen@cse.ogi.edu -------------------- README -------------------------- Distributed real-time MPEG video audio player v1.0 Distributed Systems Research Group Department of Computer Science and Engineering Oregon Graduate Institute of Science and Technology March, 1995 This directory contains a publicly available software distributed real-time MPEG video and audio player. Please install it, run it, play movies and music, and have fun ! The player features common VCR functionalities like synchronized video and audio play back, play speed change on the fly, fast-forward, rewind, step forward, random Positioning, and more. The player is of server/client architecture. The server manages audio video file retrieval and distribution. The client decodes video frames, plays video and audio streams, and provides a Motif style user interface. The player has been compiled and tested on following architectures: HP-UX 09.03 SunOS 4.1.3_U1 (sparc) Solaris 2.4 (i86pc) Solaris 2.3 (sparc) (only server program tested) Ultrix 4.x If you decide to port the player to a new architecture, please let us know so that we can incorporate the changes into our sources. To install the player, ftp file vcr.tar.Z to local host, move it to a suitable directory (best to create a new directory for this software), uncompress and untar the .Z file, and see INSTALL for instructions. Following is an example of steps to ftp and untar the package: % mkdir vcr % cd vcr % ftp ftp.cse.ogi.edu *** login as anonymous and your email address as passwd *** ftp> cd pub/dsrg/Player ftp> binary ftp> get README ftp> get vcr.tar.Z ftp> quit % gunzip vcr.tar.Z (or you may also use 'uncompress vcr.tar.Z') % tar xf vcr.tar For people at OGI CSE, the executable form of the player server and client programs, and the AudioFile server are already installed on architectures SunOS4 for Sparc, HPUX, Solaris 2.4 for x86, and Solaris 2.3 for Sparc. please see file 'README.OGI' for more information.

We also want to thank following people for their code: Lawrence A. Rowe, Ketan Patel, and Brian Smith of Computer Science Division-EECS, Univ. of Calif. at Berkeley. The MPEG decoder used by the client of the player is originated from their MPEG decoder 2.0 Thomas M. Levergood, Andrew C. Payne, James Gettys, G. Winfield Treese, and Lawrence C. Stewart of Cambridge Research Lab, Digital Equipment Corporation. The player uses AudioFile as audio output. Daeron Meyer of the Geometry Center, University of Minnesota. The Motif user interface is based on his version. -- Shanwei Cen Dept.
