Sure, but when a "real" codec is used, it's the decoder business to tell the app what output format it will use. NUT can provide infos about the internal format used by the codec, that would help dealing with decoder including slow colorspace conversions. But that's definitly non-essential information, any player should be able to do without it.
However for RAW data the "decoder" need to know the exact format used, just like some other decoder need some huffman tables or whatever. And the logical place for such information is the extradata imho.
Agree. Rich
