Howdy!
I hope you don’t mind the cold outreach. I’m a CS student at Texas A&M
who’s been following some of the work coming out of the GSoC ecosystem,
and
your involvement caught my eye.
I’m exploring a small, student-led project this spring. As part of
that,
I’ve been reaching out to a few folks whose judgment I respect to get a
sense for what kinds of problems are actually useful to work on.
In particular, I was curious whether you’d ever be open to students
taking
on a well scoped project aligned with your work. Even a quick gut check
on
whether that’s something you ever consider would be super helpful.
Hi,
yes, the ffmpeg project welcomes all. anyone and everyone who wants to
dip their toes into the vast world of video technology, we're happy to
have the help.
although most people working on our project are volunteers. you may
find that we arent very organized or have a ton of free time to help
people find things to work on.
what kind of project are you thinking about? audio and video filtering?
maybe reverse engineering some old codecs so that ffmpeg can decode it?
for these codecs, the first version of the codec is supported, but
version 2 of the codec is not supported yet:
https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/Motion_Pixels
or
https://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php/Viv2
there are plenty of things to work on. finding something interesting
is the hard part!
