[Python-Dev] SGI's Digital Media SDK

[Andrew Kuchling]

SGI just made a source release of their digital media SDK for IRIX and
Linux at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/dmsdk/ .  According to the FAQ,
this is derived from previous SGI libraries, "including the Video
Library (VL), the Audio Library (AL), Digital Media Image Convertor
(DMIC), Digital Media Audio Convertor (DMAC), and the Compression
Library (CL)."  Interested parties may want to look into this, because
Python still has the al, cd, cl, and sv modules; maybe they'd work
with the new software with a reasonable amount of fixing, and at least
now there's a reasonable chance that non-IRIX platforms will be
supported.
