Comment (by Lastique):

 Replying to [comment:5 cehoyos]:
 > To which container are you writing through the API?

 To avi. But as far as I can tell, any container that uses
 ff_check_h264_startcode will have the same problem.

 > Shouldn't it be easy to call x264 from {{{ffmpeg}}} with the same
 options as you do?

 I don't know ffmpeg command line very well but probably not. I tried to
 transcode an input file to h264 avi but ffmpeg muxes the first frame
 differently - it starts with SPS and PPS, each having the 4-byte
 startcode, and then goes SEI with the 3-byte startcode. Since
 ff_check_h264_startcode only checks the beginning of the frame, it doesn't
 fail. I don't know how to make ffmpeg application put SEI in a separate
 frame.
