| ffmpeg TODO list: |
| ---------------- |
| |
| Fabrice's TODO list: (unordered) |
| ------------------- |
| Short term: |
| |
| - 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 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 |
| - 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) |
| ------------------- |
| - optimize H264 CABAC |
| - more optimizations |
| - simper rate control |
| |
| 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 |
| - 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. |
| |
| 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 |
