Thanks for your suggestion. 
Yeah, the name based check is not good. but i thought that, as the macro
is not taking any packet reading function as argument then there is no
other way. 

I have gotten the idea of assigning a read function in AVInputFormat
struct, but as the  avformat_open_input() probes and assigns the packet
reading function then how to change this, and when to change this ( at
the time of reading the header? ).  

Thank you
