I really want to participate in Google's Summer of Code, but I realize I don't
have much time left to find a suitable project. What I am thinking of is to
improve Wine's capability of playing videos in games, first by fixing mciavi
so it can play the Worms 2 intro films (bug 4256), and then hopefully
progessing to fixing bugs in quartz/devenum, like crashes in Worms Armageddon
or playback in WMP9.
Is this too ambitious considering that I don't really have much experience
with C and Wine? The
closest I have gotten is some patches for Wine's WordPad implementation.
Very limited win32 programming experience might be a problem. If you intend
to fix the problems with AVI file playback you should be prepared to fix wide
range of things: winmm, msvf32, mciavi32 and any codecs involved. If you plan
to look at the WMP9 playback problems that goes further to quartz.dll and OLE
interfaces.
