Hello everybody,

I have an libavcodec/format based application to write video data to an
output file. This is working nicely; however, I'd also like to be able
to put additional data packets (containing e.g., 3D position data) into
the output stream using CODEC_TYPE_DATA. I suppose normal players would
ignore these packets, while a specially adapted decoder could get the
data back out. I've done some experiments with AVI files, and the AVI
file does indeed get a 'dats' chunk in the header.. but my data doesn't
show up anywhere in the file.

I suppose the problem is that I don't have the correct codec. I tried
CODEC_ID_RAWVIDEO (probably a dumb idea), but I couldn't find anything
else that would fit. Can somebody please give me a hint on how to embed
non-AV data in the final stream?

Many thanks, 
Yours, Florian
