DISCLAIMER

I take NO responsibility for any damage caused by this program. Use it on
your own risk. You have been warned.


REQUIREMENTS
============

AmigaOS 2.1 and higher (tested under 3.1 only),
gtlayout.library v45 and higher,
datatypes.library v43+


DESCRIPTION
===========

This piece of software was born for ENCODING of mpeg2 video streams. You can
use pictures of any format you have a datatype for. It encodes MPEG2 streams
from a sequence of images.

I have tried to attach a GUI to MGEP2enc from MPEG Software Simulation Group.
The result was nearly successful but I have become nearly blind and was unable
to finish it.

Please don't be surprised to see same folders in the GUI. The idea was to
move all parameters from config file to the GUI.

Feel free to contact me by e-mail <tumanyan@mail.ru> but please be
patient for reply, because I can not read them myself.
