I'm interested in this as I have a MacBook and such things would be useful. I 
doubt I have the same level of skills as yourself and John but I might be able 
to offer some suggestions. My initial thought was that you might try to make it 
into a library such that it can be easily used by any project. MPlayerOSX or VLC 
might be other points of interest if you don't want to make it into a library. 
Also, is it possible to extend to functionality of the code to allow decoding of 
other codecs than MPEG-2?

Rob
