  <title>A multimedia framework covering MPEG-4, VRML/X3D and SVG</title>

  <description>GPAC is a multimedia framework for MPEG-4, VRML/X3D and SVG/SMIL.

​

GPAC is built upon an implementation of the MPEG-4 Systems standard

(ISO/IEC 14496-1) developed from scratch in C.

​

The main development goal is to provide a clean (a.k.a. readable by

as many people as possible), small and flexible alternative to the

MPEG-4 Systems reference software (known as IM1 and distributed in

ISO/IEC 14496-5).

​

The second development goal is to achieve integration of recent

multimedia standards (SVG/SMIL, VRML, X3D, SWF, etc) into a single

framework. This stage is still under drafting but GPAC already

supports most of VRML97, some X3D as well as very simple SVG.

​

GPAC already features 2D and 3D multimedia playback, MPEG-4 Systems

encoders/multiplexers and publishing tools for content distribution.

​

GPAC is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

​

The current GPAC release (0.4.5) already covers a very large part of

the MPEG-4 standard, and features what can probably be seen as the

most advanced and robust 2D MPEG-4 Player available worldwide, as

well as a decent 3D MPEG-4/VRML player.
