MPEG-2 TS 1394 Decoder

This program for Linux receives MPEG-2 transport streams from an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) bus according to IEC 61883-4. It can decode one audio and video stream and present them on the local sound card and on the local display. It is based on libmpeg2 for video decoding and mpg123 for audio decoding. It uses libraw1394 for reception of isochronous data from FireWire.

This is a discontinued project. It is not maintained anymore.
