Possible to see decoding error position?

[csi]

Hi there,

Is it possible to configure ffmpeg (or perhaps ffprobe) in such a way that it returns the offset in your input file where decoding went wrong?

I work a lot with broken video files and it would be really useful to me if I could get the exact (or at least approximate) offset where the decoder breaks off.

(For instance in an H.264 Byte Stream, which contains a couple of correct frames, but then a frame which is broken off half-way by other data: What's the position of the break...?).

Thanks in advance, and I am a huge fan of ffmpeg and the zeranoe build, so thanks for that too!

ffprobe -show_packets ?
If not then I'd ask on the ffmpeg-user group...
