[FFmpeg-devel] what AVCodecID to use for copying full vanc data between .mxf and .mcc

[Jacob Lifshay]

I'm currently writing a .mcc muxer, it currently translates from eia-608/708 to full vanc packets before outputting a .mcc file:
https://github.com/programmerjake/FFmpeg/tree/add-mcc-mux

I want to add the ability to the mxf and mcc muxers/demuxers to keep the full vanc data when doing stream copies, what do you think is the best way to do that?

* add a new AVCodecID for mxf vbi_vanc_smpte_436M
* change the muxers/demuxers to be able to use AV_CODEC_ID_SMPTE_KLV or AV_CODEC_ID_SMPTE_2038 (they hold the full vanc packets, right?)
* use the mxf vbi_vanc_smpte_436M stream as is -- AV_CODEC_ID_NONE and with vbi_vanc_smpte_436M in the metadata

additionally, it'd be nice to be able to output a eia-608/708 stream to mxf, so that would either need a codec/filter of some sort to translate to full vanc data in whatever format the mxf muxer ends up supporting, or to have that translation built-in to the mxf muxer, like it is built-in to the mxf demuxer (with eia608_extract).

What do you think?
