[FFmpeg-devel] [FEATURE PROPOSAL] Extracting codec-level data to binary files

[Timothée]

Hello,

I am interested in expanding ffmpeg's capabilities to extract
low-level data from video codecs. Specifically, I'd like to implement
functionality that would allow exporting frame data, macroblock
information, quantization tables, and similar codec-specific elements
to binary files for further analysis.

After searching through the documentation and existing features, I
haven't found similar functionality, though I may have missed
something. Has this been implemented before, or are there related
features I should examine?

I'd appreciate your feedback on whether this feature would be
considered valuable for the project and if it aligns with ffmpeg's
development goals. If there's interest, I can provide a more detailed
technical proposal.

I'm new to both ffmpeg development and open source contributions in
general, so I welcome any guidance or information that might help me
contribute effectively.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Timothée
