Yup, but I figured out so far that the data contains length info, so it could be parsed properly... but this here: > Another thing came to mind, since you asked: There was a patch on > ffmpeg-devel for a "textdata" muxer (and demuxer), which would be able > to represent arbitrary data in base64, and also support timestamps: > https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2016-May/194445.html Would be sooooo much nicer! It's pretty much *perfectly* what I wanted! I'll try to build ffmpeg myself (currently using the Ubuntu one) and patch this in. Also going to subscribe to ffmpeg-dev in order to ask why it isn't mainlined. It is *super* useful. Thank you so much again!

Oh man, no chance. Here's my wild guess: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3213684/ -- I don't speak any Norwegian, so I had Google help me :-) _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-user mailing list [email protected] http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-user To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email [email protected] with subject "unsubscribe".
