Developing Object-Oriented Multimedia Software

This first book on the MET++ multimedia application framework provides an in-depth look at the concepts and techniques applied in an object-oriented class library to support multimedia application development. It is a reference for software designers interested in applying object-oriented technologies to multimedia programming, and for developers who want to build multimedia applications by reusing components of the MET++ framework. MET++ provides a seamlessly integrated architecture which handles the synchronization of time-dependent, dynamic data such as audio, music, 2D/3D graphics animations and video. The C++ source code of the MET++ multimedia application framework as well as some sample applications are included on the CD-ROM (for UNIX workstations) which comes with the book.
