AVFrame->pict_type tells you the type of frames.

Please test with -skip_frame nointra if this is usable for you
before investing more time.
When doing this, you can also test -skip_frame noref
which may be an alternative: Drop those (h264) frames
that will not be needed to decode future frames. I am
not sure if this information is available outside libavcodec,
you may have to do some additional programing.
