Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:6525 tangent]:

 > *   `I` means an "image" codec, and implies that you can only encode one
 frame at a time with this codec, and that each frame will have a separate
 image header.

 I don't think this makes sense ...

 > I believe `bmp` is in this class, for example.

 ... especially since FFmpeg is supposed to work fine for piped bmp
 streams.

 I don't think this will be implemented (because the distinction you
 request is impossible) but feel free to send a patch to the development
 mailing list for discussion.
