[Libav-user] Format in which ES data is stored in (AVPacket*) pkt->data buffers

Question - What is the format in which audio / video ES data is stored in (AVPacket*) pkt->data? I am trying to demux and decode AV data from a MP4 file using libavformat and libavcodec.

More details
	1. Using the sample application demuxing.c (http://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/demuxing_8c_source.html) I tried demuxing and decoding a MP4 file containing H.264 video and AAC audio. 
	2. While the sample application worked fine, I wasn't able to interpret the content in the pkt.data buffer (line #66 in the above file). Since the video was H.264 I was hoping to see familiar "nal_unit_type" but I don't think I saw that for the stream I was trying to decode. If I remember the data correctly the first 4 bytes in the pkt.data buffer were "0x00 0x00 0x02 0x72"
I haven't spent much time figuring this out yet but searching on the Internet / forum didn't help. I intend to dig deeper tomorrow, but just wanted to check if indeed ES was being passed in the pkt.data buffers in a special way.

Appreciate any points that you can provide.


Best regards
Arvind
