Apologies for the top post. Never participated in a mailing list like this
before.

I intend to extend a video based application of mine to all file formats.
One of the use cases would be to (say) fetch Sync Frame timestamps in a
video container. Currently, for an application to use the avformat to
achieve such a functionality, I see no mechanism available here. There could
be several such custom requirements of a player/framework from the parser
modules. Am not sure how to use/modify the avformat to achieve such
customized usages. Please advise.

Regards.
