Retrieving metadata from x264?

Question

Hi,

I am trying to exctract the meta data from x264-encoded video files. First priority is to map the IDR-frames structure. The work seams to be harder than expected and I am trying to find command line applications that I can control from my code.

Mp4box has an option "-dump-xml" or similar but I can't figure out how it works. Not much help available on the net on this option.

Anyone who can give me a hint on this or any other alternative?

Thank you.

Try something that calls mpeg4ip. This application contains mp4dump, avidump, yuvdump....
