[Libav-user] Decode single frame using "decode_video.c"

Hi,

I am wondering how can we decode a single frame using
ffmpeg-4.2.3\doc\examples\decode_video.c. Basically in this case
av_parser_parse2() never returns success.
Actually this is a bigger problem than it looks.
I have attached the sample file for reference.
Please help!
Thanks,
Rohit Khali
