-ABOUT
------
-
-libmimic is an open source video encoding/decoding library for Mimic V2.x-
-encoded content (fourCC: ML20), which is the encoding used by MSN Messenger
-for webcam conversations.
-
-It was written because there was no third-party MSN-client that supported
-this feature due to this proprietary/unknown codec involved. I didn't like
-this lack of interoperability, so I decided to do something about it. After
-studying the official MSN-client a little closer, it became clear that the
-codec involved was statically linked into the executable, so there was no
-easy way to use the codec code through Wine. So for fun, and challenge, I
-reverse-engineered the original implementation by studying the massive
-amount of assembly code involved, and after a lot of hard work I ended
-up with this implementation in C.
-
-It should be noted that reverse-engineering for interoperability is 100%
-legal here in Norway (and in most European countries).

-BOTTOM LINE
------------
-
-If you like my work and decide to use it in your project, please feel free
-to credit me. I put a lot of time and hard work into this, so I hope others
-will find it useful.
-
-Well, enough chit chat, enjoy! :-)
