[FFmpeg-devel] GSOC application question

[Laszlo Szilagyi]

I like for example the DTS stuff (DTS Encoder), I had a look at the white
paper, and I'm quite familiar with the filters/maths there, but I've never
dealt with DTS before. I've learned that I need to finish a qualification
task, but how much time will I have to accomplish that?
