Description:

GPAC is an implementation of the MPEG-4 Systems standard (ISO/IEC
14496-1) developed from scratch in ANSI C.

The main development goal is to provide a clean (a.k.a. readable by as
many people as possible), small and flexible alternative to the MPEG-4
Systems reference software (known as IM1 and distributed in ISO/IEC
14496-5). The MPEG-4 Reference software is indeed a very large piece
of software, designed to verify the standard rather than provide a
small, production-stable software. GPAC is written in ANSI C for
portability reasons (embedded platforms and DSPs) with a simple goal:
keep the memory footprint as low as possible. The project will at term
provide player(s), systems encoders and publishing tools for content
distribution.
