<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First of all: Sorry about my bad English and the
fact, that it is not really about mplayer...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We are a group of mechatronics students on the
University Of Applied Sciences in Augsburg Germany. Now we are in troubles,
bacause we have to create a "developing instructions" of a fictive project in
Software Engineering. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our fictive(!) project is called "To programm a
module, that automatically recognizes the file type of a media file and the
codec used for encoding". We have to underline the fact, that we are not going
to create/programm that software, we just write down, what has to be done.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now our major problem is getting the needed
informations. One of the desired information is, how to recognize the file type
of the media file and (what is more important) how to recognize the codec, which
was used to encode the (video-)stream. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We serched for the answers all across the WWW, but
not really successful... But we found out, that YOUR Mplayer software is able to
do exactly that things. So you are our last hope to get the
information.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please give us a useable answer...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yours</FONT></DIV>
