If (has outline) blur(outline) else blur(glyph). If there is an outline, the glyph itself should not be blurred. Keeps the border between glyph and outline clear (unblurred), which is probably how it should be. Patch by Diogo Franco (diogomfranco gmail com).

If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets ...



Documentation:

 * continue MEncoder tutorial

 * 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

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 set mplayer default/startup volume

 * 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

 * move filters into ffmpeg

 * 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, ...)

 * 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

 * DirectX video acceleration -vo for Windows (similar to XvmC)

 * 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

 * add option to use ffmpeg network code (rtsp, http, mms etc)

Difficult stuff:

 * RE all closed source codecs (QDMC, WMA9, Indeo 4/5, ...)

 * support for Bink codec

 * write something like mptv to replace xawtv

 * write/adapt a C implementation of live555 RTSP

 * unify live555 and Real RTSP

 * 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
