mpeg2 player open source

I was looking for mpeg2 player open source, somebody knows where can I find it? (my preference is for Windows XP, but for others OS it'd also help)

Bill Gates gives it away through the DirectShow interface found in the DirectX SDK. I downloaded version 9.0b and found lots of good code hidden in it. They tend to write code a bit strange for my tastes so I took their examples and made a simple player to learn how to use the API calls.

I wrote an MPEG2 player under MFC for use in a dvdauthor GUI that I'm working on to allow the selection of video stills. I can post or send you the source if you are interested.

Maybe you are looking all the way down to creating your own decoder. If that is the case excuse my post.

Here is how it looks"

I'm interested basicaly only in the source code of any mpeg2 player. I'm creating some sort of new format for video (video with depth information) based on mpeg2 source. I'd need the source to adapt to my format.

I dont know if your source can help me, but if you dont mind I'd like to take a look...

You may have a look into mpeg2lib. This is just a lib to decode the Video info from mpeg2 but this is probably exactly what you need?!
It can be found here (i.e): http://meesoft.com/lib/MPEG2Lib.zip
Or google for another source...

Thanks broax, this will help
I've already google seached for other sources, but many of them had problems...
If anyone else have another source it can help too. Like I said, I'm trying to attach depth information on the video, so any source code that I can change might help.

ps: I'm using mainly C++, but any code might help...

You can find the source code for the DirectShow player at my web site:

Click on Tools, then Video. Grab DSPlayer.zip

Try Media Player Classic from Sourceforge. It does MPEG2, is written in C++ and source code is available.
