[Libav-user] Custom IO strange behavior.

[Talgorn François-Xavier]

Hi,

It would help if we could see how you allocate the AVIOContext, and your main loop.

What I do, is  that I free the AVIOContext and it's buffer just after I call avformat_open_input. But I can see the memory usage increasing by an estimate of the frame size each run.
