| | 131 | == DICOM support == |
| | 132 | |
| | 133 | '''Description:''' FFmpeg currently does not support DICOM files although this is a widely used image format that is often passed to patients who have no access to DICOM equipment. |
| | 134 | |
| | 135 | '''Expected results:''' Support reading as many features of the format as possible. |
| | 136 | |
| | 137 | '''Prerequisites:''' Good C coding skills, basic familiarity with git |
| | 138 | |
| | 139 | '''Qualification Task:''' Write a simple demuxer for a format currently unsupported by FFmpeg. The following tickets contain possible tasks, not all of them are equally simple / difficult, some may turn out to be less useful: #5154, #4748, #4519, #3986 (this may be too difficult or impossible), #3720, #2956, #2662 and #2176. Not all possible features of a demuxer have to be implemented (the more the better) but at least auto-detection and video decoding (and remuxing) should be possible to implement for all of them. |
