[gst-devel] OpenStream

[Myers W. Carpenter]

	While looking around the Indrema site (http://www.indrema.com/) (they
are making a linux tv game/dvd console) I noticed a project that looks
intresting:  OpenStream (http://www.indrema.com/openstream/). 

	The OpenStream project is a collaboration of several
        development groups, including Indrema and Precision Insight,
        working to create a new royalty free gold standard for
        professional video on Linux. The plan is to host the 
        project on VA Linux' SourceForge, and to encourage open 
        source developers to contribute to the API and code 
        development. The project will produce the OpenStream 1.0
        API specification and Sample Implementation with support 
        for MPEG2 encoding and decoding hardware acceleration, a 
        CODEC plug-in architecture, and drivers for some popular
        MPEG2 hardware.

        When completed the OpenStream 1.0 specification will be 
        released to a standards body to govern its future development
        as an open standard, and the code development will continue
        to evolve according to the open source model. Professional 
        non-linear editing software, multimedia presentation software
        tools, and Internet video authoring tools are all examples 
        of products that will benefit from a common open standard for
        video on Linux. Indrema and other supporters of the standard 
        hope to see many video products released with OpenStream support
        soon after the 1.0 specification is completed.


  Of course 9/10th of the links on the page are dead, even the ones to
download the current codebase.  
  I wonder how far along they are.
