[Ffmpeg-devel] Partial frame decode in avcodec?

I don't know about the predictive block question I haven't looked into it to
closely. I'm kind of new to video compression but maybe the fact that the
old codec doesn't use P frames has something to do with it or maybe it goes
back and decodes just those blocks in needs. 

I'm certain the old codec only decodes the specified region (or something
close to it) because testing shows that if I have it decode only 1/4 of the
frame the processing time drops by about 75%. 

Thanks
