[Libav-user] Custom data in AVPacket or AVFrame

[laddoe]

My apologies for not being clear in my original post. The codec I'm using is h264 and the container is mp4. How can I determine if this codec supports per-frame data? If not,  can you give me pointers on how to do it in the bitstream code or on container level?

Thank you in advance

The original message has not disappeared, you can re-read it.

"add a custom number [] before I encode it  and I want to retrieve it
back when I decode it."

Once FFmpeg has encoded and muxed, it is done with the data, there is no
connection to a later decoder. Therefore any transmitted data needs to
be in the output file.
