ezMPEG is an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand MPEG1 video encoder API. The author says I started this project because I wanted to know how MPEG works and the best way to learn it is to implement my own encoder. So I downloaded the ISO specs and began to read and code. My implementation doesn’t have the goal to be better than all the others. The goal is to have a simple, portable and esay to understand code for all the people (and for me) who wants to know how a MPEG1 video encoder works.

Version 0.1b of this library shipped in April, 2003. It is still listed as being in Alpha status, so temper your expectations for right now.
