iam not sure, vc9.c is a mess, at least the following lines make no sense
and should be completly removed


    len = avpicture_get_size(avctx->pix_fmt, avctx->width,
                             avctx->height);
    tmp_buf = (uint8_t *)av_mallocz(len);
    avpicture_fill((AVPicture *)pict, tmp_buf, avctx->pix_fmt,
                   avctx->width, avctx->height);

...
    *data_size = len;


then check that the output pict matches current_picture_ptr and that
current_picture_ptr.data and current_picture.data match

also keep in mind that if the stream is not low_delay (= has b frames)
then the output picture MUST NOT be the current picture unless the
current picture is a b frame, for non b frames the output is the last
non b picture (should be in last_picture_ptr)

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
