"hard" frame duplication for mencoder. this finally makes it possible to generate valid mpeg output from avi's that have duplicate frames in them, or when using inverse telecine filters. to use it, put the "harddup" filter at the end of your filter chain.

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



Documentation:

 * a nice and complete MEncoder tutorial

 * continue docs review

 * check docs for completeness

 * write documentation HOWTO/rules document



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 ...

 * -vo fbdev -fb device ---> -fbdev:device

 * accept dvd://9-12 command line

 * make -geometry work with all vo drivers

 * Make the output windows remember their positions when resizing to
   double size.

 * Ability to completely disable those popups ('cannot access cdrom',
   'your system is too slow...').

 * Ability to resize to full size/double size/triple (or half) size
   upon key presses.

 * wildcard support for MEncoder - mencoder *.avi blah



Cleanup:

 * integrate dvdnav into mplayer structure

 * integrate libmpdvdkit2 into mplayer structure (message system and
   command line options)

 * remove all obsolete code, options, files etc

 * move Zoran JPEG encoder to video filters

 * convert -zr options to -zr suboption:suboption format

 * Restructure configure and fix CPU flags supported but not shown.



Filters:

 * eq filter should support RGB in addition to YUV



Enhancements:

 * adapt colored output from MPlayerXP

 * merge VIDIX from MPlayerXP/sourceforge

 * port ASF muxing from MPlayerXP

 * write nut muxer/demuxer

 * SSA style & colors handling

 * plugin structure for vf/af

 * support for VirtualDub and Winamp plugins

 * implement xawtv config file parser (for channels, etc)

 * finish icc support

 * G400 2nd head through mga_vid ;)

 * DTS support

 * do more things automagically

 * guess correct DVD title

 * SYUV and paletted RGB support in swscaler

 * implement Plextor compatible SCSI VCD reading

 * udp:// support (like xine and vlc)

 * -stop option for MPlayer similar to -endpos for MEncoder

 * color subtitles

 * swf (flash) demuxer

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

 * hardware MPEG encoding support (Ati cards)



Difficult stuff:

 * reverse engineer all closed source codecs (QDM2, WMV9, Real, ...)

 * support for Bink/Smacker codecs

 * frame stepping

 * allow frame insertion & removal in video filters (with timestamps)

 * mixing of multiple videos (picture in picture, ...)

 * stay in pause after seek, fullscreen etc

 * write something like mptv to replace xawtv

 * write/adapt a C implementation of RTSP

 * real mmsu:// support

 * encode to OGM, MP4, ASF, nut

 * xinerama video filter that splits movie to 2 screens (like zr)

 * top notch DVD navigation like a hardware player

 * JACK support

 * write mpdump application to handle all -dump* options

 * modular MEncoder with audio encoding API

 * support for pausing/resuming of encoding in MEncoder

 * TV support under Windows

 * DRM support (divx.com, WMV, WMA, iTunes)
