how can I get a frame out of an mpeg4 video file? I mean, I suspected
av_read_frame(), but that gives back an AVPacket, and that's only 52 bytes
(according to sizeof(AVPacket) )...
so, how can I get one frame out of a video using libavcodec?
and then I manually have to but the rtp header on it, right?
