No. We design video and audio playback devices, not the encoders, but you can find some information at http://www.alcorn.com/library/appnotes/encodingstandarddefvideo/index.html and http://www.alcorn.com/library/appnotes/encodinghd/index.html

An application note on this software can be found here:
