New filename proposal:


audio/video files:

[ ("ff_"|"mp_") "issue" "%06d" "+" ]
container "+"
[ vcodec [ "-" vcodec ]* "+" ]
[ acodec [ "-" acodec ]* "+" ]
[ subtitles [ "-" subtitles ]* "+" ]
text.ext


Example:

mp_issue000123+nut+mpeg4-snow+mp3-dts-pcm+ass-srt+broken_stream_switching.nut



image files:

[ ("ff_"|"mp_") "issue" "%06d" "+" ]
"image" "+"
("single"|"multi") "+"
format "+"
text.ext

Example:

ff_issue00321+image+multi+gif+framerate_mismatch.gif

Yes. I do not plan on automatically convert the whole current repository. 
It's my intent to do it on a directory by directory basis and output to a 
new tree. I can easily add another top-level directory with more 
descriptive issues currently available, like:

problems/idct_rounding_artifacts/fubar.avi@
