If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets ... Documentation: * continue MEncoder tutorial * update all MEncoder commands into ffmpeg syntax using -lavencopts o= * review manual page again * split manual page * update and rewrite the XML documentation * check documentation for completeness * write documentation HOWTO/rules document * write -lavdopts documentation * continue ipod/embedded device encoding guide * document channels.conf syntax * ability for multiple languages/locales in one binary Small improvements: * vo_mga should completely blank the screen like fbdev and tdfxfb (maybe there should be an option - some people seem to like it the way it is, but then fbdev should also behave like this..) * Debian package creates mplayer.conf.1 .2 ... * Make the output windows remember their positions when resizing to double size. * Ability to resize to full size/double size/triple (or half) size upon key presses. * real mute support, not just setting volume to 0 * add help suboption to -lavcopts vcodec=/acodec=, -lavfopts format=, -subcp, and anything else that needs it. * ability to cycle switch_aspect * ability to rename vo_jpeg,vo_gif,vo_png output filename Cleanup: * integrate dvdnav into mplayer structure * integrate libmpdvdkit2 into mplayer structure (message system and command line options) * remove all obsolete code, options, files etc * Restructure configure and fix CPU flags supported but not shown. * Port libmpdemux demuxers to libavformat or write your own from scratch. libmpdemux is considered deprecated and should eventually be removed. As of 2008-01-28, the following demuxers are missing from libavformat: - TiVo (ty streams, not TiVo To Go) - VIVO - VQF - XMMS - libnemesi - SL support for MPEG-TS Filters: * get filters to work in more colorspaces * eq filter should support RGB in addition to YUV * autocrop filter * insert af volnorm during playback * allow frame insertion & removal in video filters (with timestamps) * xinerama video filter that splits movie to 2 screens (like zr) * mixing of multiple videos (picture in picture, review shmem patch) * video watermark/logo filter (apply vf_overlay patch?) * fade to black filter * crossfade filter (audio and video) Enhancements: * support for VirtualDub and Winamp plugins (apply af_wadspa patch!) * implement xawtv config file parser (for channels, etc) * G400 2nd head through mga_vid ;) * do more things automagically * guess correct DVD title * SYUV and paletted RGB support in swscaler * implement Plextor compatible SCSI VCD reading * DXVA / DXVA2 -vo for Windows * GDI -vo for older windows versions * hardware MPEG encoding support (Ati cards) * make -ass-use-margins work on widescreen video only! (not 4/3 video) (automagically put subtitles in black bars) * nsc playlist support * implement Jack Transport API * Stream quality selection, possibly based on available bandwidth. Currently only available for MMS-over-HTTP (libmpdemux/asf_streaming.c). * MOD playback (via libmodplug?) - bug #434 * allow multiple -dump* options at the same time - bug #70 * scale osd when video window changes size * get -ass working in mencoder * rotate/position osd * support all image formats in mf:// (psd, jpeg2000) * make -noborder work with all video outputs Difficult stuff: * RE all closed source codecs (Voxware, VIV2, MVI2...) * write something like mptv to replace xawtv * real mmsu:// support * top notch DVD navigation like a hardware player * write mpdump application to handle all -dump* options * modular MEncoder with audio encoding API * multiple audio stream output in Mencoder * support for pausing/resuming of encoding in MEncoder * DRM support (divx.com, Real.com, iTunes) * variable-fps output support for MEncoder * smooth stream switching / multiple file caching to avoid the small skip between files when playing multiple files * reverse playback * more directshow filter/muxer support * encode and display video at the same time * write mpimage for displaying pictures
