Abstract

The paper presents a modularization method for the design of MPEG decoding software. Compared to the traditional MPEG decoder architecture, the architecture obtained from the modularization method can effectively improve the flexibility and reusability of MPEG decoding software without affecting the speed performance. Using this design approach, the paper presents MPEG Developing Classes (MDC), a software tool for developing MPEG video applications. The feedback from users of MDC shows that MDC is flexible in use and easy to understand. It allows users to develop their specific decoders without going into details of MPEG
