I am not sure I understand:
Why can't you use hexdump / printf / openoffice?
(I unfortunately still don't know what kind of 
output you want to check.)

Note that there is of course no "100% certainty" 
(consider reading the FCP EULA)...

-pix_fmt is a synonym for -vf scale / -vf format, 
you cannot call libswscale explicitely from ffmpeg 
(the application).

(Note that FFmpeg is not a C++ project and it is 
actually a slight disadvantage if you know C++.)
