4. Progress since previous meeting

    Tuomas had mostly been concentrating on project management and writing the project plan. Rest of the team had been reading the MPlayer source code figuring out the general structure of parts most essential to the project. Richard presented the structure on the whiteboard. He also notified that the current version of MPlayer includes an implementation of black frame detection filter intended for detecting scene transitions and skipping commercials.

    This was followed by discussion about details of MPlayer's DVD subtitle handling code and MPEG-TS stream seeking.

    Matthieu explained the structure of MPEG-TS stream.

5. Further discussion of project requirements

    Richard asked if the implementation should support 16-color subtitles. Matthieu thought that could be done, but it's not very important.

    Scaling of the subtitles was also discussed. Matthieu pointed out that the aspect ratio scaling is done by hardware. The team could research the subject.

    The team:

    * Further research of the MPlayer source code
    * Project plan and task list for the next iteration (mostly Tuomas)
