Use avio_open_dyn_buf and avio_close_dyn_buf to get libavformat to write to
a buffer and return the buffer address. The usual way to do it is:
// Create a dynamic buffer for your AVFormatContext and do some writes.
avio_open_dyn_buf(&avContext->pb);
av_write_frame(avContext, ...);
...
// Get the buffer contents and length, and do what you like with them.
uint8_t *buffer = 0;
int nbytes = avio_close_dyn_buf(&avContext->pb, &buffer);
if (nbytes > 0) {
// whatever
}
av_free(buffer);
You need to do this little dance for each block of output data you want to
process.
