First some problems:


1. The CopyURL program sometimes gets stuck in the scripts.
   Just abort with Ctrl-C and call the script again until the download succeeds.
   You can also try to use wget instead. Therefore have a look into the
   DownloadSource.bat script and read the comments there.


   Now about how to download and compile the source.

   To download the source tree, just execute either the

   DownloadMediaXW.bat

   or the 

   DownloadZoranNT.bat

   script, depending on the project for which you want to download the sources.
   This downloads most of the sources.


2. These scripts download the sources from various CVS servers. Please make sure you
   have executed the Login.bat script at least once. It asks you to type in some passwords.
   Don't worry. The passwords are printed out before you need to type them.


3. There are some files, which you'll have to download and install yourself:

3.1 The Intel MJPEG Library. It is available at

    http://mediaxw.sourceforge.net/files/bin/ijl15.exe

    or at the Intel web site at

    http://developer.intel.com/software/products/perflib/ijl

    You'll have to install the package on your build system and set the include
    and library paths appropriately in the options panel in Visual C++.


3.2 You should have the lastest include and library files from the Platform SDK.
    Try downloading them at the MSDN home page at

    http://msdn.microsoft.com

    Microsoft changes their URLs from time to time, so I can't specify the direct
    URL, but it shouldn't be hard to find. Note: You don't have to
    download the full SDK. It is sufficient to get the include files and
    the libraries. If you wan't to do some DirectShow testing in the case you
    are interested in the audio and video filters, I recomment also downloading
    the Platform SDK build tools. They contain the GrephEdt utility and some other
    usefull programs, like RiffWalk.

    Both MediaXW and ZoranNT require the DirectShow base classes. They are
    part of DirectX sample source code in the Platform SDK. Please copy the
    sources into the "Ext\DirectShow Base Classes" subdirectory, which is created
    by these scripts.

3.3 ZoranNT required a recent DDK, e.g. the Window 2000 DDK. You can also find it
    at the above mentioned MSDN web site.
