Yes, this should be correct.

Actually, after your call to avpicture_fill_proc(), data[0] is
pointing to pbuffer[0]. You didn't disclose how you initialized
pbuffer, so it's impossible to tell why Purify is unhappy with this
address.

By the way, I don't understand the rationale of allocating another
chunk of memory, pAreaInMemory. Whatever you do with these bytes, why
don't you use pbuffer directly?
