Create a fuzzing testsuite for FFmpeg	Kieran Kunhya				Compile and run ​fffuzz and report and (possibly fix) a crash using zzuf or afl-fuzz.
FFv1 P frame support	Michael Niedermayer	Vladyslav Grynko	scaredcookie	​vladyslav.grynko@gmail.com	Implement support for simple P frames without motion compensation in FFv1. That is so that each frame stores the difference to the previous frame.		2016-03-01
MPEG-4 Audio Lossless Coding (ALS) encoder	Thilo Borgmann	Umair Khan		​omerjerk@gmail.com	TBA
	Thilo Borgmann	Niklesh Lalwani		​lalwani1994@gmail.com	TBA
	Thilo Borgmann	Priyanshu Jain		​priyanshudeveloper@gmail.com	TBA
Hardware Acceleration API Software / Tracing Implementation	Reimar Doeffinger	Prakhar Pratyush	pnation2020	​pnation2020@gmail.com	Anything related to the hardware acceleration code, though producing first ideas and code pieces for this task would also be reasonable		2016-03-02
MXF Demuxer Improvements	Tomas Haerdin				Investigate if there may be a compact way of representing the UL -> WrappingKind mapping specified in the ​official RP224 Excel document.
VDPAU filter	Carl Eugen Hoyos				TBA
TrueHD encoder	Rostislav Pehlivanov	Jai Luthra	darkapex	​me@jailuthra.in	Update the MLP encoder so that it produces a valid bitstream that can be decoded by FFmpeg without errors to silence. Find out how to validate the generated bitstream besides using FFmpeg.		2016-02-26
Improve Selftest coverage	Michael Niedermayer				Improve selftest code coverage by at least 1% of two of the main libraries (libavcodec, libavformat, libavdevice, libavfilter, libavutil, libswresample, libswscale) as listed at ​coverage.ffmpeg.org.
Improve and Cleanup Swscale	Michael Niedermayer				Something that proofs that you understand the existing code and can manipulate it as you need to. A specific possibility would be to move some cases which are handled as cascaded contexts to run as part of the filters from ff_init_filters() wthout using cascaded contexts.
Motion interpolation in libavfilter	Paul B Mahol				Basic but working motion estimation filter.
DICOM support	Carl Eugen Hoyos				TBA
