TODO:
=====

CVS CLEANUP work:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- maybe remove .raw font support too
- remove -vf yuy2, yvu9
- maybe upgrade to liba52 cvs & merge in (or redo?) the asm optimizations
- change build & install stuff (cross-lib dependency etc)
  - re-design makefile dependency system
- we should switch to the patch tracker (roundup)
- fix & apply the delayed patches:
  - MPlayer-0.90rc2.rawyuv.diff - raw YUV (I420) video 'encoder'
    (checks requires for stride==width, and aligned planes)
  - of-raw-1.diff - raw audio/video stream dump 'muxer'
  - bte.diff - something input plugin (uses fork() )
  - lavc_statsfile_errorchecking-patch - handle errors writing to logfile
  - xine-lib-cvs-xvmc.diff - XvMC support for libmpeg2 0.3.x
  - fastermemcpy.diff - cacheline-size dependent optimizations
  - fire-x86-runtime-options.diff - en/disable (force) cpu features runtime
    (needs to be integrated with --runtime-cpu-detection en/disabled modes)
  - mga_vid_laced.diff - buggy interlace support into mga_vid
  - patch_sortsub_disable-1.3x.diff - remove --disable-sortsub
  - mplayer-0.90rc3-fixfbdev.patch - ugly hack to fix multiple file & -vo fbdev
- review and implement draw_slice() support in video filters

FOR THE NEXT RELEASE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- fix vo_svga vs. -vf scale - DONE?
- Re: [MPlayer-cvslog] CVS: main/libvo vo_vesa.c,1.82,1.83
  This patch makes mplayer unusable in console mode, always leaves the 
  console in graphic mode.
- Dec 19: [BUG] mencoder+mp3lame creates desynced AVI (<=22Khz support missing)
- check files at FTP/incoming/!to_be_fixed/*
- fix partial -dr + ffmpeg + B frames (different stride per frame)
- implementing 8bpp support in vo_x11.c
- cleanup qtaudio/qtvideo (move globals to context)
- cleanup DMO interfaces
- fix AVI index offset base position handling ('no video stream found' bug)
- Port GUI code to plain gtk without using X functions (any volunteers??? we really need help here)

FOR THE v1.00 RELEASE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

cruft removal:
- remove support for skins directories using the obsolete name 'Skin'

DVB:
- display OSD and subtitles using DVB card's OSD

avi demuxer: (needs rewrite)
- implement hardcore bruteforce avi re-sync for broken files (-forceidx)
- fix for growing avi files (movi_end pos > stream->end_pos)
- implement forward seeking in avi streams with no index

mencoder:
- finish mencoder -ovc vfw (bitrate setting, codec selection etc)
- add ogg/vorbis audio encoder
- stop/resume

DOCS:
- break up 6 level deep sections
- merge tech/encoding-tips.txt into mencoder.xml
- merge iive's XvMC docs into video.xml
- finish reviewing all of the docs
  - mplayer.1
  - encoding.html
  - video.html
  - documentation.html
- enhance the FAQ
- split man page into mplayer.1 and mencoder.1


FUTURE:
~~~~~~~

demuxer:
- demux_mpg: support for VDR's index files for more accurate seeking
- implement seeking for YUV4MPEG_2_

decoders:
- fix DLLs: pegasusm, pegasusl, pegasusmwv, 3ivX, morgands, alaris, vcr1, pim1,
  rricm

other:
- dvd server
- mga_vid crtc2 fix

DOCS:
- convert man page to XML
- write a detailed encoding guide
- document missing divx4opts (everything in #if ENCORE_MAJOR_VERSION >= 5200,
  vbrdebug)
