-- suppress strlcpy (done)
-
-- split mux/demux functions. (done)
-- use av_new_stream() (partially done)
-
-- reconstruct mpeg header frame rate in telecine case so that we do
- not need to ifner the real rate if it is not possible.
-- remove unused DCT code.
-- mpeg audio fix
-- AV sync fix (new api for demux)
-- RTP streaming support in ffserver
-- minimal support of video in ffplay
-
-Planned in next releases:
-
-- add DV codec/format support
-- fix bugs when stream begins with a P/B frame
-- fix ffserver (partially done)
-- add raw h263 decoding support, see vivo streams (partially done)
-- add qscale out.
-- fix -sameq in grabbing
-- add vivo format support (may need long term prediction support)
-- add raw h263 decoding support
-- add qscale out.
-- find a solution to clear feed1.ffm if format change.
-- fix 0 size picture in AVIs = skip picture
-- rewrite huffyuv (http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/huffyuv.html)
-
-BUGS:
-
-- fix audio/video synchro (including real player synchro bugs)
-
-- Improve the bit rate control for video codecs (done).
-
-- see ov511.o YUV problem (420 instead of 420P) (done?).
-
-- fix file caching pb in windows (add correct headers)
-
-- add low pass filter to suppress noise coming from cheap TV cards.
-
-- test/debug audio in flash format
-
-- sort out ASF streaming pbs (partially done)
-
-- Improve psycho acoustic model for AC3 & mpeg audio.
-
-FEATURES:
-
-- add h263 PB frame support (some I263 files use that).
-
-- add MPEG4 in mpegmux support.
-
-- demux streams for CCTV : N streams in one stream. Add option to
- generate multiple streams.
-
-- add disconnect user option in stat.html.
-
-- deny & allow + password in ffserver.
+Fabrice's TODO list: (unordered)
+-------------------
+Short term:
+
+- av_read_frame() API
+- seeking API and example in ffplay
+- parse_only mode
+- use AVFMTCTX_DISCARD_PKT in ffplay so that DV has a chance to work
+- add RTSP regression test (both client and server)
+- make ffserver allocate AVFormatContext
+- clean up (incompatible change, for 0.5.0):
+ * AVStream -> AVComponent
+ * AVFormatContext -> AVInputStream/AVOutputStream
+ * suppress rate_emu from AVCodecContext
+- add av_log() in libavcodec and suppress all printf
+- add new float/integer audio filterting and conversion : suppress
+ CODEC_ID_PCM_xxc and use CODEC_ID_RAWAUDIO.
+- fix telecine and frame rate conversion
+
+Long term (ask me if you want to help):
+
+- commit new imgconvert API and new PIX_FMT_xxx alpha formats
+- commit new LGPL'ed float and integer-only AC3 decoder
+- add WMA integer-only decoder
+- integrate custom Vorbis Tremor based integer and float decoder
+- add new MPEG4-AAC audio decoder (both integer-only and float version)
+
+Michael's TODO list: (unordered) (if anyone wanna help with sth, just ask)
+-------------------
+- finish implementation of WMV2 j-picture
+- H264 encoder
+- H264 deblock filter
+- H264 B frames
+- H264 CABAC
+- per MB ratecontrol (so VCD and such do work better)
+- more optimizations
+- simper rate control
+- split h263.c
+- mpeg2 encoding (after the ME impovements)
+- format idependant quality parameter
+
+Francois' TODO list: (unordered, without any timeframe)
+-------------------
+- test MACE decoder against the openquicktime one as suggested by A'rpi
+- mov/mp4 muxer
+- BeOS audio input grabbing backend
+- BeOS video input grabbing backend
+- have a REAL BeOS errno fix (return MKERROR(EXXX);), not a hack
+- publish my BeOS libposix on BeBits so I can officially support ffserver :)
+- check the whole code for thread-safety (global and init stuff)
+
+Philip'a TODO list: (alphabetically ordered) (please help)
+------------------
+- Add a multi-ffm filetype so that feeds can be recorded into multiple files rather
+ than one big file.
+- Authenticated users support -- where the authentication is in the URL
+- Change ASF files so that the embedded timestamp in the frames is right rather
+ than being an offset from the start of the stream
+- Make ffm files more resilient to changes in the codec structures so that you
+ can play old ffm files.
+
+unassigned TODO: (stuff which should/must be done but noone seems to do it)
+---------------
+- use AVFrame for audio codecs too
+- H264 interlacing
+- rework aviobuf.c buffering strategy and fix url_fskip
+- do audio resampling with bandlimited interpolation:
+ http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/resample.html
+- add seeking support to the command line
+- generate optimal huffman tables for mjpeg encoding
