  abstract =     "Software-only digital video involves the compression,
                 decompression, rendering, and display of digital video
                 on general-purpose computers without specialized
                 hardware. Today's faster processors are making
                 software-only video an attractive, low-cost alternative
                 to hardware solutions that rely on specialized
                 compression boards and graphics accelerators. This
                 paper describes the building blocks behind popular ISO,
                 ITU-T, and industry-standard compression schemes, along
                 with some novel algorithms for fast video rendering and
                 presentation. A platform-independent software
                 architecture that organizes the functionality of
                 compressors and renderers into a unifying software
                 inter face is presented. This architecture has been
                 successfully implemented on the Digital UNIX, the
                 OpenVMS, and Microsoft's Windows NT operating systems.
                 To maximize the performance of codecs and renderers,
                 issues pertaining to flow control, optimal use of
                 available resources, and optimizations at the
                 algorithmic, operating-system, and processor levels are
                 considered. The performance of these codecs on Alpha
                 systems is evaluated, and the ensuing results validate
                 the potential of software-only solutions. Finally, this
                 paper provides a brief description of some sample
                 applications built on top of the software architecture,
                 including an innovative video screen saver and a
                 software VCR capable of playing multiple, compressed
                 bit streams.",
