Hi Malar,
well first of all please stop posting mixed text/html mail to the Mesa
mailing list. Those mails can easily end up in the spam folder and some
other lists even completely reject them (text only should be used).
If you take this task I'm probably going to be your mentor, so if you
have questions fell free to mail me directly. I certainly can't answer
everything, but I think I at least know where to point you.
First question from my side is when do you want to do this? One
requirement to apply for EVoc is that you don't skip classes to work on
the project, so you need to have a longer winter or summer break or
something like that.
A good part of those tasks where already done by another student, but I
think there is still enough work left to be done. So we need to talk
about what you actually want to do.
When you still want to get your hands dirty you can find most of the
code here:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/gallium/state_trackers/vdpau
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/gallium/auxiliary/vl
What you need for development is of course a supported hardware
platform, e.g. a compute with a radeon (preferred) or nvidia (not so
well supported) gfx hardware.
The next step would be to setup your favorite Linux distribution (if you
haven't done so already), then get Mesa compiled by yourself and getting
VDPAU running with the existing video filters using mplayer or mpv.
Regards,
Christian.

hello, I am currently pursuing my undergraduate degree in
Theoretical computer science.I came to know about The X.Org Endless
Vacation of Code(EVoC) while searching for the GSoc, since it is
already became too late to apply for GSoc , I found an interesting
opportunity while reading the project ideas. I am interested to work
on the idea of implementing the remaining presentation features of
VDPAU state tracker . I think it as an opportunity to work in a open
source project and gain real life experience.I am very much confused
about where to start so i am in the need of some help in guiding me
on how to proceed,.
THANK YOU,
