We need mentors !

SoC ideas will be included in VLC 0.9.1

== Proposed ones ==

===  GUI intfs for the browsers plugins ===
This project is about adding interfaces possibilities to the browsers plugin in order to have a correct embedded mode inside webpages, with buttons to control VLC. 
The second part of this project is to provide a replacement for all preconfigured media players embedded in webpages. 
Instead of having youtube player, windows media player, quicktime player or any other, VLC can take their place.

Proposed mentor: Quovodis.

== Other Ideas SoC 2007 ==


===  GUI intfs for the mozilla plugins ===

=== BDA Drivers ===
and TV stuffs for windows

=== Subtitles support ===
SSA, freetype, whatever

Preferrably incorporating either the libass (http://sourceforge.net/projects/libass/) or asa (http://asa.diac24.net/Main_Page) libraries instead of writing our own.

=== Fullscreen Controller ===

===  RTCP support === 

=== Vista acceleration support ===

=== Vout Rework (lol) ===

=== Working skins2 support on OSX ===

=== OSX Leopard support ===
especially: QTKit Capture API, Resolution independence, iChat Theatre

=== Mac OS X Framework ===
Create a VLC framework that can be used by both VLC.app and VLCplugin.bundle. ([https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/739 Trac Ticket #739])

=== VLM Schedule rework ===

=== WinCE port ===

=== Matroska (mkv) muxing ===

robUx4 can do the mentoring. He already wrote the demux and knows mkv really well. Sounds like a nice SoC subject.

=== Hint MP4/MOV Files ===

Add video and audio hint tracks as the output file is muxed. Resulting files can be streamed from RTSP server with trickplay, like DSS/QTSS. Probably requires use of GPAC libraries.

=== Extract Subtitles ===

It would be great to have an easy way to extract subtitles from all
the types of embedding used in different formats of video streams.
DVB, line 23, etc.  Google could be interested because it's a really
hard, but discrete task. And who wouldn't like search google videos
with text.
