Step 6. Download Project Samples and Application Samples

n The Project Samples illustrate concisely how to use the Open eVision libraries with a particular IDE. A project sample exists for most of the supported IDEs.

n The Application Samples illustrate the combined use of different libraries in a specific application. A variety of combinations and applications are represented.

Step 7. Speed up your Encoding with Open eVision Studio
