[FFmpeg-devel] Cooperative coding between (N)LE and FFmpeg; possibly quality improvements?

I have been thinking about implementing some sort of cooperative coding
mechanism between a (non) linear editors and FFmpeg. For all current
video's ffmpeg is a blackbox, it guesses what is a scene switch for example.

What if there was some sort of a 'hint' presented by an editor; make the
next frame an intra-frame. Or using the knowledge of spatial positions
layers in the editor, or their movement to express prediction.

Is this approach prone to failure, or could a prototype for example
based on SMIL als Edit Decision List format be an interesting direction
to purse?
