My full mencoder command is something like
    mencoder IN.avi -nosound -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=ffvhuff -vf filmdint -ofps 24000/1001 -o OUT.avi
If I look in the source code for muxer_write_chunk(), can I get at the
raw image data that will be written to the output file?  I need some point in
the source code that is after the filmdint filter is called, and also after the
frame rate is reduced to 24000/1001.

Also, my input file has pixel format uyvy422.  But the output file for the
above mencoder command somehow gets reduced to yuv420p.  That loses
pixel accuracy.  Is there any way to prevent mencoder from changing
the pixel format from 422 to 420?

I didn't understand your remark about pipes, yuv4mpeg, or tee.  It sounds like you
are saying to write an output file with mencoder, then pipe that output file
via unix pipes and the 'tee' command to another program that converts the
video to images.  Is that it?  Or am I missing something?

Don't worry about that aspect.  It's moot.  If I can't create the image files for each
frame at the same time they are being muxed into the output file, then it doesn't
matter.
