Hi @codinghorror and @erlend_sh ,  
I am a GSoC '16 aspirant. I found the idea of converting GIFs to MP4s very interesting and am interested in helping out implementing the same.

I have referred to the links mentioned on the GSoC ideas’ page on the main code repo and have done a fair bit of google’ing looking for ideas related to gif to mp4 conversion. Please do let me know how I should proceed now. If a mentor is already assigned to this idea, I could get in touch with them to better understand what I am expected to do.

Thank you,  
Shreedhar
