Thanks for the response, I am a newbie and would feel scared on a
project where the expert
is not sure of the project. I have started looking at the code only.

I would like to do a video project (not an audio project) and
preferably not a Microsoft standard one.
Please advise which project would be a good fit and also the
corresponding qualification task.

Thanks
