Raw data are of many type, in case of video it may be yuv420p or yuv422, rgb, rgba.

AvFrame is a structure where it have one or many fields which points to actual rawdata. 

I dont have link now but doxygen of ffmpeg is good source for ffmpeg api.

On internet where u searched and got confused, there context might be different.
