if you want to avoid reencoding the frames, this could be done with
a bitstream filter.
though iam not sure how much sense this makes to crate a preview,
depending on how "standarized" the source material is the keyframe
intervals could vary widely

a bitstream filter would be more generic than implementing this in a
single muxer
