I mad this for a longer time and now it works. I will look at my code
later. But for the moment i think these two lines are wrong:

|avpicture_fill((AVPicture*)inpic, (uint8_t*)pPixels, PIX_FMT_BGR32, c->width, c->height);
av_image_alloc(inpic->data, inpic->linesize, c->width, c->height, c->pix_fmt, 1);|

you first copy the screenshot from pPixels to the AVpicture inpic, but
then allocat the AVpicture, so a empty frame gots to the encoder.
