Can we possibly convince you to look into an alternate qualification 
task? 2 other people simultaneously submitted TIFF encoders as qual. 
tasks. While the primary purpose of the task is to qualify the student's 
ability, we would also like to get some new features into FFmpeg as well. :)

You can submit multiple applications, one for each project you would 
like to do. You would only get 1 project if selected, of course.
