Millions of hours of CPU-time are probably wasted to reencode 
already-perfectly-encoded content, just for cutting ;)

Only do remux without transcoding, and let mp4 muxer use editlist to strip the 
timeline from IDR to the requested start time.
The preroll at the beginning can be slow when playback, but seeking also has 
the same preroll

Other choice is use multiple groups of SPS/PPS in mp4 sample description. We 
have that support in mp4 demuxer, but not
in muxer. It’s standard in specification but not widely supported. So if we add 
support to muxer and it works with our own
demuxer, it’s not surprise to experience a lot of compatibility issues with 
other software.

Thank you Zhao for your answer.

Is there a feature already available in ffmpeg to use one of your 2 solutions?
Or is someone already working on this topic? (if so, can I join this feature 
development?)

In any case, if someone has a solution, many people are looking for a solution 
for this, either here: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63548027/cut-a-video-in-between-key-frames-without-re-encoding-the-full-video-using-ffpme
 (closed),
or here: 
https://superuser.com/questions/1850814/how-to-cut-a-video-with-ffmpeg-with-no-or-minimal-re-encoding.
It would help many people if a ffmpeg-expert could help on this :)

AVTransport, the new container I'm working on, supports more flexible
signalling of decoded but discarded refs. Still WIP so no support for it in
FFmpeg, but hopefully not for too long.

Please dont add a new container. Such signalling can be added to
existing containers with little effort.
Iam also happy to help to add it to nut

Why did you write FFv1 then?

reminded me of this:

FYI, there are 3 organizations already behind it.
