Okay, I moved my fprintf before the decode, and here's what I get. I
also added a check to see if the frame is a keyframe or not, and the
error always occurs right after a keyframe.

Note that when "seekpos" shows the same seek value twice in a row
(right after keyframes), the first value is not marked by
avcodec_decode_video2() with *got_picture_ptr. Only on the second
iteration of the loop is it marked. If I _force_ frameFinished to be 1
every time, it works but the frame returned is black. Interestingly
though, avcodec_decode_video2() still returns the decode result value,
which differs for each black frame! So, even though it seems to be
returning the size of the decompressed frame, it is not copying it
into frameIn nor setting *got_picture_ptr.
