Linux Video Dynamic Objects

This project will provide a lightweight, flexible plugin API for
realtime video FX processing.

This API will give you the ability to write simple plugins for video
processing in C/C++ and link them dynamically with a range of software
packages (called hosts). It should be possible for any host and any
plugin to communicate trough this interface.  Plugins will reside in
shared object files ( *.so in UNIX ) , suitable for dynamic linking
by dlopen() and family.

A support library will be included that provides several routines for
administrating the plugins and several routines for (optimized) color
space conversion routines.

Livido focusses on:
1. single and multiple frame processing
2. (optional) multi color space processing inside the plugin
3. seperation of plugin control and plugin data
4. standardization (POSIX.1b)
5. crossplatform
6. Free Software (GNU/GPL)

This kit includes:
- livido.h header file
- example plugins

This code has been tested on GNU/Linux and NetBSD, i386 and MIPS.
