There isn't a function to do what you want, albeit you can use the 
ffmpeg utility to do the conversion for you.
The data is stored as specified in AVCodecContext->pix_fmt.  In 
principle this means some form of YUV (YUV422 or YUV444 usually). Your 
white image is probably the first luminance channel you extract from the 
file (Y).
