I was wondering how feasible it would be to get at the frames after MPEG-2 decoding and before they're passed off to the codec; what I'd like to be able to do is rip a DVD to "uncompressed" 4:2:0 video (probably stored on disk in a QuickTime container.) This is a bizarre enough feature that I would be happy to tackle the work myself, if I could get a quick feasibility check.
Thanks,
jfb
Access to decoded frames?

The Handbrake pipeline is split like so:
Read DVD -> Decode MPEG-2 -> A/V Sync frames to new framerate -> Render subtitles/resize/deinterlace -> Encode -> Mux.
Sounds like what you would need to do is write your own encoder and muxer component. The encoder would just be a pass-through, so that would be pretty simple to write... There is no Quicktime muxer, and unfortunately, I don't know the state of libquicktime. You might want to just use the AVI muxer for this.
