Hi,

In the Berkeley distribution of mpeg_play, there is a field in the
video stream structure called show_time. Apparently, that field is 
never used. So is there any real time consideration at all in mpeg_play
to ensure a smooth display of the frames, namely that a frame is shown
only when its supposed show time is reached? Or is it assumed that 
the workstation is never fast enough to display a frame too early so
the goal is to get a frame displayed as early as possible?

ANy insight is appreciated . Email to yau@cs.utexas.edu is preferred.
Thanks in advance,

David
