That is unreadable. You should consider getting a more code-friendly mail
client if you intend to post on this kind of mailing list.

Regarding your problem, it seems you are not flushing the decoder. After the
input is finished, you have to feed empty packets to the decoder so that it
returns the frames that were delayed by previous B-frames.
