AS-DCP File Access Library
asdcplib is an
implementation of
and the MXF Interop
"Sound & Picture Track File" format. It was originally developed
with support from
. Development is currently
supported by
CineCert and other D-Cinema manufacturers. See the bundled README
file for more information.
asdcplib is implemented in C++ and builds on Win32 and most unix
platforms that support GCC.
The following SMPTE standards (and their normative references) are
supported:
- 377M-2004
- 381M-2005
- 382M-2007
- 429-3-2006
- 429-4-2006
- 429-5-2008
- 429-6-2006
- 429-10-2008
asdcplib supports reading and writing MXF files containing sound (PCM),
picture (JPEG 2000 or MPEG-2) and timed-text (XML) essence. Plaintext
and ciphertext are both supported
using for cryptographic
support.
An object-oriented API is provided along with a command-line program
that provides access to most of the API.

change log:
2009.05.21 - bug fixes, v.1.4.24
-
Fixed a bug that caused incorrect SubDescriptors UL values to be
written into interop format MXF track files. Note that this involved
a substantial reorganization of MXF internals. Please test
thoroughly
in your application before using in production. Note that this
is a
significant bug fix and track files created with 1.4.22 may be
incompatible
with other systems.
MD5 digest value: = be22bbc14f108e91cf76b668dd795ecc
Note that v1.4.22 contains a bug that could cause track files
created with it to be incompatible with other systems. This version has
been deprecated in favor of v1.4.24.
change log:
2009.04.09 - SMPTE format fixes, enhancements and bug fixes, v.1.4.22
- asdcplib now uses GNU autotools on POSIX systems to configure
and build. See "./configure" for details. Note that two options,
--enable-freedist and --with-python are not enabled in the free
version of asdcplib and should not be used.
- Added build option (CONFIG_RANDOM_UUID) to enable mixed case
UUID
generation when environment variable KM_USE_RANDOM_UUID is defined.
- Fixed a condition that could cause an error to occur when
wrapping
SMPTE format timed text track files that do not define a starting
frame.
- Updated ULs for SMPTE format track files.

delete files
and directories, and get free disk space for a given volume path.
- Added a method to Kumu::Timestamp, AddMinutes(), to add (or
subtract)
minutes to a time value.
- Improved how Kumu::Timestamp parses timestamps with offsets.

(development version)
MD5 digest value: = d619ac9c86c30b2ceaf00fe47cda81d7
change log:
2008.02.16 - SMPTE format fixes, bug fixes v.1.3.18
- Added correct SMPTE UL for StereoscopicPictureSubDescriptor.
- Exposed JP2K metadata parser as ParseMetadataIntoDesc().
- Added simple stereoscopic framebuffer to support paired
ReadFrame()
and WriteFrame() methods (allows simpler integration with other
single-buffer code).
- Improved detection of JPEG Interop stereoscopic files.
- Win32 build fixes (Thanks to Mike Crowe at DTS).
- Added the WITH_MD macro to the makefile. Set this value to
one
to build Win32 with /MD[d] instead of /MT[d].
- The Generic Container UL has been added to the
EssenceContainers
set in the header partition pack for encrypted files. It has always
been there in plaintext files.
Below this point the changes are internal and should not affect you
unless you use Kumu directly.
- Major refactoring of KM_log.[h|cpp].
- Fixed buffer re-sizing issue in Kumu::ByteString.
- Replaced type IdentifierList with ArchivableList.
- Added COPYING file to the release bundle.
(development version)
MD5 digest value: = c4e43437c8e56000d99fbb422c864262
change log:
2007.12.13 - Bug fixes v.1.2.17
- Changed Result_t implementation to use int instead of long, which
was causing trouble on some 64 bit platforms.
- Fixed EKLV HMAC. NOTE: Breaks backward compatibility with
older
Interop files. To validate these files, use asdcplib-1.1.14. This
should not cause too much trouble since files with broken and
non-broken HMAC have been in the wild for years without issue.
- Fixed HMAC sequence numbering in encrypted stereoscopic
files.
- Finished stereoscopic test targets in the makefile.
- Fixed the win32 build, now expects VS2005 compiler by
default,
use WITH_VC6=1 top get VC6 flags.
- Stereoscopic and Timed Text modes now have SMPTE UL values.
NOTE: SMPTE 429-5 and 429-10 are not yet published. It is possible
that these UL values may change before publication. Please use
caution when using these features for production work.
- Changed a bunch of symbol names in the 429-5 implementation
to
better match the spec.
- Added -U option to asdcp-test to dump the UL library to
stdout.
- Fixed erroneous placement of the PictureEssenceCoding UL in
JP2K
files (Interop and SMPTE modes).

KNOWN BUGS: The following issues are known to exist with this version.
These bugs
will be fixed in the next release (being prepared now).
- The Win32 build is broken
- Writing encrypted track files using LS_MXF_SMPTE causes a segfault
change log:
2007.10.22 - Timed Text, Stereoscopic Picture and Bug fixes v.1.2.16
- Significant API changes have been made. Please read all entries
in this changelog to be sure you understand the changes. Also
note that some changes have been made to LS_MXF_SMPTE files that
are incompatible with earlier releases (e.g., EKLV HMAC). If
you are looking for a stable interop release, use v.1.1.14.
- Fixed RFC 2104 HMAC implementation for LS_MXF_SMPTE only. The
broken implementation has been maintained for Interop mode.
- Added support for draft SMPTE 429-5 Timed Text Track File.
This
is still waiting for official SMPTE ULs, so do not use it for
shipping products. An XML parser is needed to create a Timed
Text Track File; Expat is now an optional part of the build.
Make with WITH_XML_PARSER=1 to link with Expat. If you do not
link with expat, you will get an error when using the TimedText::
DCSubtitleParser class. See also S429-5-cgi.cpp for an example
that shows how to serve plaintext MXF file elements directly via
HTTP.
- Added support for draft SMPTE 429-10 Stereoscopic Picture
Track
File, including the JPEG Interop version. This is still waiting
for official SMPTE ULs, so do not use it with LS_MXF_SMPTE for
shipping products.
- Refactored the following files as a side-effect of the above
work: AS_DCP_JP2K.cpp AS_DCP_MPEG2.cpp AS_DCP_PCM.cpp
AS_DCP_MXF.cpp AS_DCP_internal.h MXF.[h|cpp] MXFTypes.[h|cpp]
Metadata.[h|cpp] h__Reader.cpp h__Writer.cpp klvwalk.cpp.
WARNING: While significant effort has been extended to make sure
that these changes do not affect existing stable file support,
users are cautioned to test this release thouroughly.
- Added a large set of filesystem path manglers to KM_fileio.h.
See
path-test.cpp for example usage. The path manglers have not yet
been tested on win32 platforms (they are currently used only by
the Timed Text module.
- The PathIsFile(), PathIsDirectory() and FileSize()
subroutines
have been modified to accept const std::string& instead of
const char*.
- Added namespace and parsing support (Expat) to
Kumu::XMLElement
(currently used only for Timed Text support). Also added some
new accessors.
- Altered MXF::UTF16String to use mbtowc() and wctomb().

change log:
2007.03.31 - Bug fixes v.1.1.14
- Fixed KeyFrameOffset value in MPEG wrapping to have negative
value. This is probably not yet complete for handling all
types of GOPs. Please send chunks of MPEG-2 VES that you
find which break this. Thanks to Doremi.
** no other file format changes in this release **
- Fixed error in RIP interpretation when reading arbitrary
(i.e.,
non-MXF) files.
- Fixed a memory leak in ASDCP::MXF::OPAtomHeader when used
in read mode. Thanks to Mahesh Bajaj for pointing out this
bug and the one above.
- Removed asserts from KM_fileio, replaced with
RESULT_WRITEFAIL
return value statements.
- Added -s and -p to the makefile install target.
- Altered ByteString behavior to use target Length() in copy
operations (instead of Capacity()).
- Added new Set() method to ByteString.
- Fixed a bug in ByteString::Unarchive() that caused the
operation
to fail when the buffer was smaller than the read (i.e., when
Capacity() was called).
- Added IdentifierList class to KM_util.
- Changed some Error() messages to Debug() in Wav.cpp
- Revived jp2k-test.cpp and asdcp-mem-test.cpp (they both had
stale #includes).

KM_log.h. These versions log the location of the null value.
Macros are now used in any module that includes KM_log.h.
- MPEG2 VES with run of zero values at the head is now OK.
- Increased VESHeaderBufSize to 16K.
- Added makefile support for local OpenSSL in ../openssl, if
present.
- The Kumu::PathIs*() functions now return false if a null or
empty string is given (used to be an assert).

want to set SourcePackageID.
- Fixed compiler warnings on some Linux platforms
- Fixed the build so that BUILD_DIR is no longer created
as a dependency.
