dvdec ===== David Moore What is it? dvdec consists of three matlab function, dvopen, dvread, and dvclose to enable the use of raw DV files within Matlab. What are the prerequisites? You'll need the libdv library under Linux, which provides an API for parsing and decoding DV files. It may work under Windows too, but I haven't tried it. And of course, you'll need Matlab and the mex build tools that come with it. How do I build it? Type 'make'. If your prereqs are satisfied, there will be no errors. How do I use it? Add this directory to your Matlab path after building. The three functions dvopen, dvread, and dvclose are now available. For their usage, refer to the sample function playdv.m, which simply plays a DV file inside a Matlab figure. What license does dvdec use? dvdec is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
