[FFmpeg-user] libavcodec documentation and usage

[James Board]

I'd like to write a C or C++ program which uses libavcodec to retrieve
individual frames of an AVI file.  I can't find much documentation on the WWW.
Does anyone have documentation on how to do this, or some current examples?

I think this question is appropriate for this mailing list, since the ffmpeg group 
developed libavcodec. If not, please let me know.  Thanks.
