hmm.
what about passing this information from the caller, ie. mplayer?
it know more-or-less the encoder, from the .avi/.asf headers
for example, MP4S fourcc in .asf is mpeg4ds.ax format for sure.
anyway .asf has a field in the main header to describe codec version,
download url, etc... it's ignored now, but i can pass it to libavcodec
so it could recognize encoders even if this info isn't in teh compressed
