I’ve been working tirelessly on the MultimediaWiki for the past few days, importing all of my past technical documents. Plus, I have been unearthing all kinds of documents and notes. Fortunately, my new philosophy is to just get the information out there and organized via the Wiki rather than waiting until the information is perfectly, 100% complete and verified. Some new items:
- Description of American Laser Games’ multimedia format (IBM PhotoMotion?) by Peter Ross
- Description of the LOCO codec by Kostya that I have had for almost a year
- Somewhat incomplete description of the Duck TrueMotion 1 codec that I have been sitting on for much longer
- Scattered notes on LucasArts’ ScummVM that I wrote much too long ago
But what about MPEG? Right now, the Wiki is lacking for information regarding various MPEG audio, video, and transport formats. This was also a shortcoming under the original tech site organization. My big problem is that I simply don’t know a lot of the technical details behind MPEG. That seems to surprise a lot of people familiar with my activities. Fact is, I like to solve problems that need to be solved. Since so many other people seem to have MPEG locked down, I don’t worry about it.
So, to all who are more familiar than I in MPEG matters: What would be a good way to organize MPEG information in the MultimediaWiki?
