NEWS & INFO - 7/30/2021

It has been ages since this site received any updates. While there has not been any further development on MpegDec in years, there has been outside interest in the project from other developers working on similar projects.

Mark has seemingly disappeared from the face of the Earth, so contacting him with questions is currently a dead end. I have no further information about how to get in touch with him. Sorry.

Some good news is that Mark has included his source code in the latest HQX download file. (Thanks to Ryan Bruels for bringing this to my attention.) If you are a developer looking to borrow code snippets from this project, just download and go. Be sure to read the appropriate license and copyright files that are included. And let me know if you develop something worth sharing with the world. I would be happy to host.

MpegDec 3.11 has been available for download since early in December.

> Version History

MpegDec will be getting a pretty big new feature in the future. It will be able to decode and play OggVorbis audio files and streams. While the MP3 format can produce "near CD-quality" audio at 128 Kbps, the OggVorbis format can produce similar results at roughly 64 Kbps.

Mark is currently working on getting the OggVorbis decoder working with the MpegDec application. For testing purposes, he has created an OggVorbis-only version of the program appropriately called JustOgg. Efforts thus far have looked very promising. The current beta supports playback and conversion on PowerMacs, and conversion-only on 68K Macs

JustOgg should soon be available for download. This will likely be a separate program at first. At some point, JustOgg might be incorporated into MpegDec. More information about JustOgg can be found in the development section.
