It is possible to the mapping via avformat api, without digging in the source code.

 uint32_t tag = MKTAG('H', '2', '6', '4');
 const struct AVCodecTag *table[] = { avformat_get_riff_video_tags(), 0 };
 enum AVCodecID vcodec = av_codec_get_id(table, tag );

The functions avformat_get_riff_video_tags, avformat_get_riff_audio_tags and av_codec_get_id are all defined in "libavformat/avformat.h".

you can also get the mapping for a specific format using the table AVOutputFormat.codec_tag or AVInputFormat.codec_tag
