[FFmpeg-user] [Libav-user] avcodec_decode_video2(pCodecCtx, pFrame, &frameFinished, &packet) why most of the time frameFinished is zero ?

[sithruk sana]

thanks for the reply.

I am doing the same by queueing the packet  as described in dranger
tutorial http://dranger.com/ffmpeg/ffmpegtutorial_all.html


The behaviour is somewhat different if i do not queue the packet. Are there
any quirk i need to be aware of while pusing/pulling from queue ?

Kindly help me.
