This is a collection of efforts in improving output and presentation of FFmpeg. It covers the following areas:

1. AVTextFormat API
   Reshaping the "writers api" (ffprobe output) into an independent and re-usable API within FFmpeg.
   _{STATUS: Completed, merged into FFmpeg master.}  
    
2. YAML Output Format
   Implement a new TextFormatter for creating YAML output.
   _{STATUS: Pending - not submitted yet}  
    
3. Execution Graph Output
   It started with the idea of writing information about filtergraphs in ffmpeg and was extended to include data which provides a complete picture of ffmpeg execution runs
   _{STATUS: Completed, submitted for review: https://github.com/ffstaging/FFmpeg/pull/66}
    
   3.1. As Formatted Data
   Feature for outputting filtergraph and other details in machine-readable formats (like those supported by FFprobe), using the new AVTextFormat API (see 1).
   see Execution Graph Entities
    
   3.2. As Diagram
   Feature for outputting filtergraph and other details in machine-readable formats (like those that FFprobe includes), using the new AVTextFormat API (1)
   see Translating To Diagram  
    
4. Self-Printing Data Schema
   _{STATUS: Exploration. Working prototype can generate Entity Relationship diagrams, and output some kind of schema information in all available output formats, but it cannot create real JSON or XSD schemas yet.}
