| | 88 | '''Description:''' FFmpeg today includes support for windows directshow boxes via creating its own graphs, an internal capture filter, etc. This has support for things like analog capture devices and analog TV tuners, but lacks support for digital TV tuner capture devices. There are hardly any free open source libraries with support for digital TV tuners, possibly even none. |
| | 89 | |
| | 90 | '''Expected results:''' It will have the ability to capture video and audio from digital TV tuner devices. This basically involves setting up the right filter graph and exposing it to FFmpeg with the right format. |
| | 91 | |
| | 92 | '''Prerequisites:''' C coding skills, basic familiarity with git, desire to learn. |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | '''Qualification Task:''' Study the posts on digital video capture graphs: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14150210/having-trouble-capturing-digital-tv-using-directshow and create some test graphs using MSVC graphedit program. |
