no such system exists currently but it would be great if someone (you?)
would add that
but such a system should not only be per codec but per (de)muxer+codec
so it could also be used for to convert bewteen the various AC3 variants
between mpeg4 ASP with or without global headers and between the different
global header formats of h.264

and h264 and normal jpeg ...
