FFv1 P frame support Michael Niedermayer Vladyslav Grynko scaredcookie vladyslav.grynko@gmail.com Implement support for simple P frames without motion compensation in FFv1. That is so that each frame stores the difference to the previous frame. 2016-03-01
FFv1 P frame support Michael Niedermayer Yash Patel yash0307 yashdbest01@gmail.com Improve the compression of the existing FFV1 Intra frames, you can change any part of the algorithm but it must be practical, the more improvement you can achieve, the better 2016-03-04 No proposal sent
MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding (ALS) encoder Thilo Borgmann Umair Khan omerjerk omerjerk@gmail.com Work on bugs and missing features of the ALS decoder 2016-03-04
Hardware Acceleration API Software / Tracing Implementation Reimar Doeffinger Prakhar Pratyush pnation2020 pnation2020@gmail.com Anything related to the hardware acceleration code, though producing first ideas and code pieces for this task would also be reasonable 2016-03-02 No proposal sent
MXF Demuxer Improvements Tomas Haerdin Xiao Hu Zhang xhzhang xh3zhang@gmail.com Investigate if there may be a compact way of representing the UL -> WrappingKind mapping specified in the ​official RP224 Excel document. 2016-03-17
VDPAU filter Carl Eugen Hoyos Benjamin St benjaminst123 benjaminst123 AT gmail.com Find the bug using one of the options of the detelecine filter and fix it. Once this is done, find a very simple filter that is missing from FFmpeg and implement it or port an existing filter from another application. Don't forget to tell us on which filter you are working! 2016-03-07
TrueHD encoder Rostislav Pehlivanov Jai Luthra darkapex me@jailuthra.in Update the MLP encoder so that it produces a valid bitstream that can be decoded by FFmpeg without errors to silence. Find out how to validate the generated bitstream besides using FFmpeg. 2016-02-26 2016-04-10 2016-04-10
TrueHD encoder Rostislav Pehlivanov Disha Singh dinux5 directionstar86 AT gmail.com Update the MLP encoder so that it produces a valid bitstream that can be decoded by FFmpeg without errors to silence. Find out how to validate the generated bitstream besides using FFmpeg. 2016-03-07
Improve Selftest coverage Michael Niedermayer Petru Rares petru psincraian@gmail.com Improve selftest code coverage by at least 1% of two of the main libraries (libavcodec, libavformat, libavdevice, libavfilter, libavutil, libswresample, libswscale) as listed at ​coverage.ffmpeg.org. 2016-03-15
Improve and Cleanup Swscale Michael Niedermayer Calofir Ionut ICalofir ionut.calofir@gmail.com Something that proofs that you understand the existing code and can manipulate it as you need to. A specific possibility would be to move some cases which are handled as cascaded contexts to run as part of the filters from ff_init_filters() wthout using cascaded contexts. 2016-03-06 No proposal sent
