[Ffmpeg-devel] How to retrieve audio or video stream at same timestamp using av_read_frame

[Keith Mok]

Hi,

But some encoder  create movie file, with several seconds of movie data, 
then video data.
If buffer excess data, will require a lot of memory specially if you 
need to buffer several seconds of the video data in a frame rate of 30 fps.
Any comment?
