Would it be possible to add support for film formats?

Been recently getting into the world of film scanning and modern 16/35mm prints and they have digital audio.

The idea would be just to read from standard 24fps speed lossless frame / position tracked video files.

The 2 formats are Dolby Digital & Sony Dynamic Digital Sound (SDDS)

I am working on getting sample data to have a refrance base for the formats, as I dont own reels with them.

I think it would require a major rearchitecting of the software. Starting from the fact that it is based on per-line (video line) processing and that will be not suitable for 2D barcodes. Marker search should be very different, data sampling would be much more involved. Ending at the fact that audio structures and processing should be expanded from 2 to at least 6 channels. And some legality/licensing issues. I think that kind of decoding should be done in a separate piece of software.
