17
 CONCLUSION

This report shows an approach for designing of media player. Media player
should consider the improvement in scenario such as decode efficiency needs to be
improved, synchronization between multiple media streams, and display of the original
data. Use of FFmpeg decode library seems to be an alternative method. Research
shows FFmpeg supports most media formats which gives a high decode efficiency.
Different approaches that can be considered are plug-in extension technology,
multimedia based on hierarchy, media player based on file browser, media player
based on FFmpeg, media player based on file server, etc.
