Aaron Holtzman bugs & Stopper Hiroyuki Hori Kazuhiro Mogi Miha Peternel MPEG Software Simulation Group Peter Gubanov Royce Shih-Wea Liao WTC	DVD2AVI implants Dolby Digital decoding from LiViD Project. my friends and also my coding consultants the framer of VFAPI (Video File API) and also the author of TMPGEnc The development of VFAPI Plug-In refers to MPEG-2 VIDEO VFAPI Plug-In. DVD2AVI implants Floating Point 64-bit and Reference iDCT hand-tuned by Miha. The development of DVD2AVI bases on MSSG MPEG2Decode. DVD2AVI implants the 32-bit MMX & SSEMMX iDCT hand-tuned by Peter. the author of MPEG2AVI, DVD2AVI implants the MMX/SSE/3D Now! iDCT before v1.72. DVD2AVI implants 48->44.1KHz downsampling from WAVEFS44.

Known Bugs

• DVD2AVI aligns the start point of A/V streams only.
  If the video is not encoded at once that timestamp restarts (such as menu, bonus track, or different episodes)
  I can't promise the audio/video will be synchronous from the break point cause of discontinous A/V streams.
  Currently you can mark off each section by [ < > ] based on I-frame precision and process separately.

• DVD2AVI treats all Linear PCM as 16bit/48KHz/Stereo without header identification.

• Please don't ask me when these features will be implemented.
  It's just my hobby and I will go on in my spare time.

The Motivation of Developing DVD2AVI

• about the decoding problem with interlaced frame of most software MPEG-2 decoders
