[pygame] ANN: PyMedia 1.2.0



Hi,
Just thought somebody might be interested that PyMedia 1.2.0 is out.
PyMedia is a media library for Python based on libavcodec and libavformat.
It includes following features:
1. Audio decoding/encoding.
2. Video decoding/encoding.
3. Direct access to sound device with ability to pause/stop get position
4. Direct access to cdda tracks for easy grabbing and encoding Audio CDs
5. Simple interface and portability( Windows/Linux )

Just check the http://pymedia.sourceforge.net and download latest version( 1.2.0
).
You may find some really handy scripts in examples directory.
These are:
  Video player( vplayer.py ), requires pydfb(
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=86491&package_id=107482 )
or pygame 1.6 patched with Overlay support(
http://66.159.221.186/pygame-1.6-overlay.patch.gz )
  Audio player( aplayer.py )
  CDDA grabber( read_cdda_track.py )
  Video recoder( encode_video.py, recode_video.py )
  Audio recoder( recode_audio.py )

You may use it in your Python programs to playback compressed media data from different sources such as files, streams, DVB cards and so on in many different formats( but not all of course ). 
You may build your own media center in a matter of minutes under the OS you like.

Good luck,
Dmitry/
