MPEG-FAQ 4.1:

CoolEdit 1.5.3

[ This is really cool ! MPEG encoding and decoding in a windows-tools. ]

MPEG Layers I and II for Cool Edit
----------------------------------

The complete MPEG file filters for Cool Edit consists of the following:

   MPE.FLT      MPEG encoder
   MPG.FLT      MPEG decoder
   MPEG.DAT     MPEG related data (psychoacoustic models, etc.)
   COPYING.TXT  GNU General Public License document
   README.TXT   This file.

This MPEG implementation is covered under the GNU General Public License, so
the source code for Cool Edit's MPEG implementation is available upon request.
No special optimization was performed (which means it will be about 1998
before Cool Edit will be able to read MPEG II files in real time with this
current module on common PCs).

MPEG audio data is saved without any headers, and in Intel byte ordering format.
Some ShareWare (and retail) players are available that will play files saved
by Cool Edit.  The Xing audio player is one of them.

Happy compressing!!!
