It is based on a modified version of the Independent JPEG Group¹s library for JPEG image manipulation and freely available source code for ADPCM audio compression. Among its many benefits, SMJPEG allows for arbitrary video sizes and frame-rates, user-tuneable compression levels, and facilities for frame-skipping and time synchronization. </blockquote> The full press release is available <a href="http://www.happypenguin.org/html/loki_09-08-1999.html">here</a>. More information and code is available <a href="http://www.lokigames.com/development/smjpeg.php3">at Loki's site</a>. | Another Loki code release | default | |
