    5757This section lists well-defined projects that have one or more available mentors. If you are new to FFmpeg, and have relatively little experience with multimedia, you should favor one of these ideas rather than propose your own. Contact the respective mentor(s) to get more information about the project and the requested qualification task.

    61 '''Description:''' Template Description
     61'''Description:''' Hardware encoders for mainstream codecs are commonplace, but come with many limitations, such as speed issues at high bitrates, limited pixel format support, and quality issues. VC-2 is a hardware-optimized wavelet codec which is meant for mezzanine streams (high bitrate, intra-only). Although it was designed for FPGA, it's suitable for being implemented purely as a GPU shader. It's very fast, high-quality and CBR, making it ideal for low-latency point-to-point intermediate streams.

    69 '''Qualification Task:''' Template Qualification Task
     69'''Qualification Task:''' Write a Haar transform in GLSL, able to run multiple times on an image to increase the decomposition depth.

    8080'''Description:''' VVC is the successor to the well-known codec HEVC. The whole video industry has high anticipation for  VVC. The goal of the ffvvc project is to provide a VVC decoder for FFmpeg. We invite you to join us in improving ffvvc. Depending on your background, you will help add ALF/SAO/Predict assembly code or new features/tests for ffvvc.

    8182'''Expected results:''' 500+ lines of code merged into the ffvvc project.
