    <para>
      The <application>libmpeg2</application> package contains a library for
      decoding MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 video streams. The library is able to decode
      all MPEG streams that conform to certain restrictions: <quote>constrained
      parameters</quote> for MPEG-1, and <quote>main profile</quote> for MPEG-2.
      This is useful for programs and applications needing to decode MPEG-2 and
      MPEG-1 video streams.
