-------------------
Short term:
-- seeking API and example in ffplay
- 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
Michael's TODO list: (unordered) (if anyone wanna help with sth, just ask)
-------------------
-- finish implementation of WMV2 j-picture
-- H264 encoder
- optimize H264 CABAC
-- per MB ratecontrol (so VCD and such do work better)
- more optimizations
- simper rate control
-- split h263.c
-- reverse engeneer RV30/RV40
-- finish NUT implementation
Francois' TODO list: (unordered, without any timeframe)
-------------------
- test MACE decoder against the openquicktime one as suggested by A'rpi
- 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)
- 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)
+Baptiste's TODO list:
+-----------------
+- mov edit list support (AVEditList)
+- YUV 10 bit per component support "2vuy"
+- mxf muxer
+- mpeg2 non linear quantizer
+
+unassigned TODO: (unordered)
---------------
- use AVFrame for audio codecs too
- rework aviobuf.c buffering strategy and fix url_fskip
- generate optimal huffman tables for mjpeg encoding
- fix ffserver regression tests
-
+- support xvids motion estimation
+- support x264s motion estimation
+- support x264s rate control
+- SNOW: non translational motion compensation
+- SNOW: more optimal quantization
+- SNOW: 4x4 block support
+- SNOW: 1/8 pel motion compensation support
+- SNOW: iterative motion estimation based on subsampled images
+- SNOW: try B frames and MCTF and see how their PSNR/bitrate/complexity behaves
+- SNOW: try to use the wavelet transformed MC-ed reference frame as context for the entropy coder
+- SNOW: think about/analyize how to make snow use multiple cpus/threads
+- SNOW: finish spec
+- FLAC: lossy encoding (viterbi and naive scalar quantization)
+- libavfilter
+- JPEG2000 decoder & encoder
+- MPEG4 GMC encoding support
+- macroblock based pixel format (better cache locality, somewhat complex, one paper claimed it faster for high res)
+- regression tests for codecs which do not have an encoder (I+P-frame bitstream in svn)
+- add support for using mplayers video filters to ffmpeg
+- H264 encoder
+- per MB ratecontrol (so VCD and such do work better)
+- replace/rewrite libavcodec/fdctref.c
+- write a script which iteratively changes all functions between always_inline and noinline and benchmarks the result to find the best set of inlined functions
+- convert all the non SIMD asm into small asm vs. C testcases and submit them to the gcc devels so they can improve gcc
+- generic audio mixing API
+- extract PES packetizer from PS muxer and use it for new TS muxer
+- implement automatic AVBistreamFilter activation
+- make cabac encoder use bytestream (see http://trac.videolan.org/x264/changeset/?format=diff&new=651)
+- merge imdct and windowing, the current code does considerable amounts of redundant work
