1Base Video Classes TODO
2
3Main goal:
4
5 Make the video encoder/decoder base classes more consistent with the
6other GStreamer API, especially with the audio encoder/decoder base
7classes.
8
9API:
10
11 The API should be named similar, the base classes should be used
12similar by the sub-classes, the behaviour of the base classes should
13be similar.
14 Currently there are many, mostly small, differences between the audio
15and video base classes API. Things like GstVideoState should be merged
16with the stuff we have in 0.11 to make the API the same in 0.11 and
170.10 as far as possible, things like GstVideoInfo might make sense to
18be backported (at least partially).

21Specifics:
22 * Use a GInstancePrivate for extensability.
23
24 * Try to move more common video objects to video.[ch]
