ABOUT ----- libmimic is an open source video encoding/decoding library for Mimic V2.x- encoded content (fourCC: ML20), which is the encoding used by MSN Messenger for webcam conversations. It was written because there was no third-party MSN-client that supported this feature due to this proprietary/unknown codec involved. I didn't like this lack of interoperability, so I decided to do something about it. After studying the official MSN-client a little closer, it became clear that the codec involved was statically linked into the executable, so there was no easy way to use the codec code through Wine. So for fun, and challenge, I reverse-engineered the original implementation by studying the massive amount of assembly code involved, and after a lot of hard work I ended up with this implementation in C. It should be noted that reverse-engineering for interoperability is 100% legal here in Norway (and in most European countries). THANKS ------ Special thanks to Rob Taylor and the rest of the Farsight-team for all the feedback and inspiration during development, you guys rock! :-) BOTTOM LINE ----------- If you like my work and decide to use it in your project, please feel free to credit me. I put a lot of time and hard work into this, so I hope others will find it useful. Well, enough chit chat, enjoy! :-) Ole André Vadla Ravnås oleavr at gmail dot com
