I'm somewhat opposed to the HEVC decoder effort (as a GSoC project), but I still appreciate the ambition. > First of all, I've used libav (through ffmpeg and VLC) multiple times > and I am personally impressed by how the library can decode and convert > to/from a countless number of multimedia formats.

Review this list and find a task that looks fun/interesting: http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=Small_FFmpeg_Tasks Tell us which one you would like to work on so we can avoid overlap with other people. The qualification task is what we care most about at this phase (Google will care about your proper documents and information).
