WinG -- This drawing library from Microsoft, among other things, has been designed to increase the performance of many MPEG applications. MPEGPlay and VMPEG Lite, for example, both have options for using WinG. Unfortunately, the performance gains I have achieved have been less than extraordinary -- WinG shortened the time of several 15-30 second movies by only half a second (for both gray scale and 256 color displays). Also, WinG doesn't currently work with full color (24-bit) MPEG files. The WinG library includes several interesting displays of the effects that can be achieved with it. Positives: Graphics and drawing library designed to increase the performance of MPEG apps Negatives: Currently the performance gains are not all that noticeable apps conference Main Menu
