+
+This is an extension to the ffmpeg video decoding library meant to support
+a variety of extra functionality in support of video processing applications.
+The primary additional feature added is the ability to do frame-accurate seeking
+(by frame number). This is accomplished in a codec/format independant manner
+using seek tables.
+
+It has been built and tested under Linux and Windows.
+
+**NOTE [12/09]**:
+This package hasn't been kept fully up-to-date with
+ffmpeg's changing API. Some modification is necessary to remove calls to deprecated
+ffmpeg functionality. Patches welcome.
+*****************
+
+Features:
+1) Simplified interface for video processing
+2) Frame-accurate seeking using a seek-table
+3) Online creation of a seek-table through normal decoding
+4) Saving and loading of seek-tables
+
+Getting up and running:
+The frame-accurate seek library extension to ffmpeg requires ffmpeg.
+Getting the most recent version of ffmpeg and building it from source is
+recommended:
+
+svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
+
+The test/example build script requires ffmpeg be checked out (or symlinked)
+and built (./configure ; make) from the base directory. \ No newline at end of file
