Wishlist: Partial decode to retrieve one or two DPX only / attachments #360

Hi there,

Wondering if it would be easy to implement a flag that partially decoded an FFV1 MKV to retrieve a couple of DPX files and the attachments only. Looking for a simple way for Film Ops colleagues to unwrap enough info to read the splitting text files embedded in an MKV wrapper, and to check the first DPX is correctly numbered, perhaps view it's metadata for their easy reference.

Also useful to check returning MKV files from external suppliers. I realise the DPX metadata is stored in the FFV1 MKV, and the attachments are retrievable from mkvpropedit etc, but thought it might be worth seeing if RAWcooked could also add this feature to make it easier for colleagues.

Placing it here for chat/enhancement. Thanks, Joanna

The idea is to be the ZIP of uncompressed image sequences, so extracting a single file, DPX or side car file, should definitely be a possibility at long term.
