Running the MHEG Engine

The MHEG engine exists as a Java applet (although you can of course is the class librarie in your own java code (applications and applets)).

The MHEG engine is available in the MHEG:MHEG Java Applet folder on the Macintosh Applications HD in the Multimedia Lab.

You can run the applet through any Java enabled browser or appletviewer.

Here as an example of how to run the main applet provided for the demo MHEG example:

<applet name="MHEG 5 Engine"
	 code="mheg5/POM/Mheg5Applet.class"
	 codebase="applications/"
	 archive="mhegwww.zip"
	 width="510"
	 height="346"
	 align="center"
	 <param name="objectBasePath" value="file:.">
	 <param  name="groupIdentifier" value="demo/startup">
	 <param name="mon" value="false">
</applet>

If you use the applet yourself you may need to change:

• the code and codebase paths -- these specufy where the applications and applet clasess reside.
• the groupIdentifier value -- for most of the applicatioin demos a startup MHEG file is reference first in a folder for each application. ( see other examples below.
